I suggest you re-check cogent's policies. HE is happy to peer with _ANYONE_. 
Cogent claims they are a "tier 1" and requires HE to buy transit. HE refuses to 
buy v6 transit, which kinda-sortta makes sense since HE has more v6 routes than 
anyone else (they claim, and they are at least in the top 2 or 3).

Blah, blah, blah, excuses, excuses, excuses. Whatever the underlying reason, 
and whoever is really at fault, this mostly is just another proof point that v6 
is "not ready for prime-time". If a v4 bifurcation happened this long, even 
cogent would not survive. But since it is v6, no one really cares.

Sad commentary, but still true. :(

If your software is THAT buggy, then you should give up & start over. :)
