[afnog] Network termination point

[sm+afrinic at elandsys.com]

Hi Jaco,

I saw your comments about IPv6.  There is an assumption that the IPv4 
and IPv6 path are somewhat similar [1][2].  It is not always the 
case.  The comment also mentioned "European standard of 
users".  There is an article (in German) about that at 
https://www.heise.de/news/Umfrage-in-Europa-Umsetzung-der-Routerfreiheit-nach-wie-vor-problematisch-9056401.html

Your comment got me to look into the network termination point 
angle.  The optical network terminal (ONT) is where that it (it may 
be different for you).  It could be leveraged to look into the 
internal network.  If there is a concern [3] about that, it could be 
mitigated by placing another box between the ONT and the internal network.

1. A web browser would try the IPv6 address, wait for 250 ms and 
fallback to IPv4.
