i+The part of Internet visible from a single user looks like a tree, with at its root the service provider.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+Regardless how complex the branches are, there is usually "the gateway", implying a single one per network, to allow traffic to "exit", implying a single direction to go for reaching the outter world.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+The routing configuration rarely changes, and is often boiling down to "going out", implying beyond the gateway is outside..	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+The part of Internet visible from a service provider, however, looks like a mesh, a more balanced graph, with many possible gateways, many possible "exit" directions, and no more idea of "outside".	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+If you pick one possible gateway picked at random, hoping them to nicely find the correct destination for your IP packets, they may realistically cut your connection and never ever talk to you again,	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+There is a legendary dispute known by all Internet Service Provider (ISP) netadmins: the two biggest international internet network providers, Cogent and Hurricane Electric, are disconnected.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+The two major IPv6 Carriers, those giants connecting the ISP togethers across continents, are currently refusing to exchange IPv6 packets with each other.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+This means that with IPv6, from a country connected to only Cogent, it is not possible to reach a country connected to only Hurricane Electric, and the other way around.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+For this reason, all ISPs from all countries connections with many more carriers for IPv6 than it is for IPv4, resulting in either lower stability or higher cost.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+.PP	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+This strategy permits Cogent to remain competitive face to its larger concurrents.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+Hurricane Electric, on the other hand, have much more commercial advantage to perform peering with Cogent, to therefore exchange traffic.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+In the diversity of attempts to get Cogent to change its mind, Hurricane Electric decorated a large creamy cake with a message, and shipped the cake to the headquarters of Cogent.	Err	bitreich.org	70
