I think the guys at chello/upc have more real links than you can ever
dream of.

Maybe you should get your fact straight first. There are a more ASes you
can peer IPv6 with at the AMS-IX. Besides, Chello *IS* at AMS-IX.

It's easy to criticize indeed. Especially if you don't know what you are
talking about.

Sure kiddo, you're right. Maybe we shouldn't blame you for not knowing
better. You've probably never *seen* an IXP (I mean a *real* one, with
connected members 'n stuff).

Maybe you should read a little about the difference between ASIC and CPU
based routing. Even (some) Cisco's don't need their CPU to forward every
bit in a packet.
