I certainly agree that the Cogent-HE IPv6 peering dispute poses no
reliability or availability problems for the DNS root service.

But what impact might it have on individual services, organizations, and
other smaller entities? Since the Internet is still IPv4 omni-present, and
only partially IPv6, it probably doesn't matter at all to most.

It might be much more important for diagnostic and measurement services
like DNSviz though. At the moment, if you run IPv6 DNS servers on networks
that are singly connected to Cogent, it will probably incorrectly flag
those servers as unavailable. For such services, perhaps it would be better
if they were not single-homed to either Cogent or HE.

(To be clear, I'm happy that DNSviz is housed at OARC. So, I guess I might
be suggesting that the community might consider how to fund a second ISP
connection for OARC).
