You are doing the right thing, but unfortonately the tools we have now
route_btoa or libgpdump (http://www.ris.ripe.net/source) do not handle
IPv6 data properly. Near future, we are planing to add IPv6 support to 
libgpdump. After making progress, I'll let you know.

Meantime, you can download libgpdump and look at into by yourself if 
you want.

Kind regards.
