!!!IPv6 routing as of 2003-06-11 is screwed.
From NZ the closest IPv6 "peering" point is in America, and well, latency sucks. If I ping6 someone on the same [ISP] as me, their [RTT] can exceed 3,000ms! This will improve as more people get [IPv6] connectivity and more peering points appear, but it's no wonder that noone uses IPv6 when it's significantly slower and less reliable than [IPv4] because it has to travel both ways across the pacific.
-The MetaNet is ameliorating[2] this by doing peering inside NewZealand between interested parties on an experimental basis. If you're interested in doing experimental [IPv6] peering with in NewZealand please contact <my firstname> at <the first word of MetaNet> . <the second word of MetaNet> . nz

+6to4 also helps significantly here.

+!!!Internal machines don't add a 2000::/3 route
+Internal machines upon getting a router advertisement under linux add a default gateway to a router. All fine and well, until you realise that [IPv6] doesn't use default routers and you needed a route to 2000::/3 instead. Sigh.

[1]: [YMMV], this was using Zebra, "real" routers may be smarter.
[2]: I like that word. It just sounds neat. More people should use it.
