I have found that IPv6 seems to have a much longer round trip delay than

www.rfc-editor.org from here gives me this:

    IPv6: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 589.174/678.001/1109.953/117.776 ms
    IPv4: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 8.346/48.524/130.290/37.593 ms

Also, note that I cannot get an HTTP response from www.rfc-editor.org using
IPv6.  The connection is established fine, but the server does not respond
to requests.

I can't comment on the routing issues (IPv6 connectivity esp. to the 
6bone seems to have been flaky), but the RFC editor IPv6 server has been 
  up since last week.

You should see "you are using IPv6 from 
2001:490:f002:128:240:96ff:fe40:5bc9" on the bottom of the front page if 
all went well.

Browser issue?

No, I verified with this:

  $ telnet www.rfc-editor.org 80
  Trying 3ffe:801:1000:0:2d0:b7ff:c0de:3...
  Connected to www.rfc-editor.org.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  GET / HTTP/1.0

  [... wait a couple minutes ...]
  ^]
  telnet> q
  Connection closed.

My IPv6 address is 2001:460:410:8128::/64.
