Hi,

What i meant is that when IXPs/NAPs allow v4 bgp sessions or v6 bgp 
sessions over their infrastructure they are doing pretty much the same 
stuff. Lower Layer = No Issue.

Even if they're using/providing a route server-based service, enabling 
IPv6 should be very easy.

Of course that when IXPs/NAPs place AAAAs and enable services (Web, ...) 
they run into the same *mostly solvable* problems other people do. :-)

Best Regards,
