Global IPv6 routing table passed 2000 prefixes

According to Hurricane Electric, the global IPv6 routing table has passed 2000 IPv6 prefixes. This shows a steady growth in the deployment of IPv6 backbones.

Other useful data about IPv6 infrastructure are as follows :

- There are now over 1500 IPv6 glue records in the TLD zone files. The
addition of IPv6 glue records at the TLD level is a good gauge of
hosting infrastructure IPv6 growth, since it indicates operational
commitment on the part of individual nameserver operators.

- Top Level Domains (TLDs): 280, TLDs with IPv6 nameservers: 223, Percentage of TLDs with IPv6 nameservers: 79.6%

- TLDs with nameservers with IPv6 glue in the root zone: 170, Percentage of TLDs that have nameservers with IPv6 glue in the root zone: 60.7%

I do have two domain names with IPv6 glue records at the .com TLD. My contribution is therefore 2 /1500 or 0.13 %.
