Nicolas,

If your routers are full, BUILD ANOTHER ROUTER to add to your v6 core.  
You don't drop one peer to bring on another.  Your new "policy" sucks,
plain and simple and for this reason, I can NOT support your request for a
pTLA.

OK.  I see a total of 2 native v6 sessions listed in your site
object.  You're shutting down existing peering sessions for what reason?

Just an FYI: You violated OUR peering policy when you dropped your peering
session to change your ASN.  If you investigate a bit, you'll notice that
it is possible to have Zebra speak as multiple ASNs at once.  You simply
changed your ASN and "poof" the session dropped.  No biggie.  Just thought
I would bring that to your attention.

And where do I send your certificate for being childish on the 6bone
mailing list?  Yet another reason I do NOT support your application for a
pTLA.
