ISC is ready to peer over v6 at the APE, just as soon as there's a /64 there to number an interface in (and, preferably, at least one other router attached to the APE to peer with :) f.root-servers.net is reachable as 2001:500::1035.
Has Citylink got a IPv6 Peering Range for APE? WIX?
Not right now, we don't, and unfortunately, unlike IPv4 we don't have convenient unused allocations laying about looking for a good home on an exchange, so I suspect we're going to have fess up with some cash.
If my reading of the APNIC site is correct, the smallest allocation we can get will cost us US$1250. I have no problem with spending such a sum - if a few ISP's say "yes, we're want to peer with IPV6, and we'll pay some $ for the facility", then we'll go out and get an allocation tomorrow.
