Perhaps certain vendors disable IPv6 because of the lack of relays etc. in the network causing performance problems. Perhaps a good way to do it is advertise outside Europe, but have the providers that get your advertisement out there prepend their AS a few times as it leaves. That way, US providers will still prefer US 6to4 relays (ie lower latency) but any who don't get a 192.88.99.0/24 route from the US will us your relay in Europe. Kinda gets you best of both worlds. Teredo and 6to4 is easy - translate the addresses to IPv4 and geolocate with maxmind geoip or something. IPv6 is harder, you have to build a geolocation database, which I suppose you'd have to build from either origin AS location, or whatever location data the RIR has, for the prefix an address is in. I have been intending on building a map from Teredo and 6to4 using IPv6 addresses from my bittorrent population stuff, and have that as one output of a periodic study. I'm not sure how to do non-Teredo/6to4 addresses though, so if you've got some ideas there I'll whip something up, the Teredo/6to4 stuff is very simple. -- Nathan Ward
