Hurricane Electric was recently featured in an article by Telecom Ramblings for its IPv6 networks. From the article:
Fremont, California – March 7, 2013 – Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone and leading colocation provider, today announced that it is the first Internet backbone to connect to over 2,000 IPv6 networks, doubling in less than three years.
According to University of California research presented at the International Measurement Conference (IMC) in November of 2012, Hurricane Electric is the most dominant Autonomous System (AS) in the global IPv6 transit topology. Data from the research indicate that between 2011 and 2012 no other AS was added to IPv6 routing paths as frequently and consistently as Hurricane Electric.
Employing resilient fiber-optic topology, Hurricane Electric has no less than four redundant paths crossing North America, two separate paths between the U.S. and Europe, and rings in Europe and Asia. Having first deployed IPv6 in 2001, Hurricane Electric offers IPv6 as a core service; every customer is provided IPv6 connectivity as well as classic IPv4 connectivity.
