Streaming music is a very stylish + cool thing to do over IPv6, and we
encourage that far more over IRC use :)

As far as ipv6.lkml.org, we have very good routes to that location now.
The only problem is that LKML is dead and appears to be no longer maintained.

six.surge... we have good outbound path via UK6X, but bad return path
coming back to us via JANET -> GEANT -> ABILENE -> CLOUD OF TUNNELING DISASTER
 -> APAN --> VERIO -> OCCAID so latency is quite bad.

We are working on thinking of ideas to avoid this GEANT->ABILENE mess in the
near future. Hopefully that will fix our routes to six.surge soon :)

Thanks,
