Issue with IPv6 address for www.freebsd.org

[Keng Soon Goh]

Kevin,

May I know where do you get this ipv6 address? I checked ARIN, and it belongs to Level3. But it does not seems to me when I try to traceroute to this address.

Thanks.
Keng Soon

Hi,

My name is Keng Soon Goh, and I work for Hughes Network Systems. One of my client try to access to you websites, and at some point, it does not go anywhere. I talked to Level3, and they said this subnet is belongs to them, but there is no routes at all. Are you planning to advertise this IPv6 address to the internet?

Thanks.
Keng

Talk to your provider. I have no problem reaching it, so looks like your provider lacks a full IPv6 table.

While I can guess, can you tell us who the provider is or who the provider uses for transit?
