ipv6 seems to be down on Snap, with all outbound requests stopping at cust-ge-0-1-0-969.xcore2.telstraclear.net
[2001:4403:0:103::101]

Is there a problem with Snap's ipv6 transit?

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Seems to be working today, still nothing back from Snap support. I guess ipv6 is low priority as not many people are using it.

I think its more the world isn't going to end / break without it right now. Give it a year or two this might be true.

I emailed Snap on Saturday about this problem, got a reply back Tuesday night & it appeared to be fixed yesterday afternoon. I guess not enough people use IPv6 to notice that large chunks of the v6 internet weren't reachable for several days.

We did have some issues with IPv6 which were resolved back on tuesday.

Also, the Google Caches in our DC now have IPv6 enabled!
