Re: IPv6 internet broken, Verizon route prefix length policy

  • From: Owen DeLong
  • Date: Mon Oct 12 20:21:29 2009

From where I sit, it looks like:

a.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:503:ba3e::2:30
BGP routing table entry for 2001:503:ba3e::/48

f.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:500:2f::f
BGP routing table entry for 2001:500:2f::/48

h.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:500:1::803f:235
BGP routing table entry for 2001:500:1::/48

j.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:503:c27::2:30
BGP routing table entry for 2001:503:c27::/48

k.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:7fd::1
BGP routing table entry for 2001:7fd::/32

l.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:500:3::42
BGP routing table entry for 2001:500:3::/48

m.root-servers.net has IPv6 address 2001:dc3::35
BGP routing table entry for 2001:dc3::/32


b.root-servers.net has no AAAA record
c.root-servers.net has no AAAA record
d.root-servers.net has no AAAA record
e.root-servers.net has no AAAA record
g.root-servers.net has no AAAA record
i.root-servers.net has no AAAA record


So... Likely, Verizon customers can reach k and m root servers via IPv6
and not the others.

The fact that b, c, d, e, g, and i do not have AAAA records actually concerns me
more than the fact that Verizon customers can only reach two.

Verizon's policy has been related to me that they will not accept or propogate any IPv6 route advertisements with prefix lengths longer than /32. Full stop. So that even includes those of us that have /48 PI space from ARIN that are direct customers of Verizon.
What about the small matter of all of the current AAAAs for the the IPv6 enabled root DNS servers?
