Atlas helped me today first to see a hard-to-detect bug: F-root anycast algo works fine for v4 but fails miserably for v6, as instead of AMSterdam it sends all traffic to some remote island in the pacific. ;-)
The good folks at ISC would be quite happy if you opened a ticket with them on this issue. Drop an e-mail to noc@isc.org to do so, including traceroutes and such would help a lot.
I did.
As you noticed with both F and M, there's always a routing misconfiguration somewhere for someone. IPv6 is still a little less mature than IPv4 in that sense. Lots of good people are working on the problem.
We have to watch ipv6 with much more attention since we really have to prevent people saying that it's "worse" than ipv4, especially now that ripe handled our last v4 block ever and no more. Later or possibly sooner the endusers get it, and I mean the END endusers, those gravediggers, spoon-binders and dishwashers. :-) And DNS is the first entry, so I'd prefer working and reachable roots. And Atlas is a great way to assure that. Peter
