Strange Cloudflare anycast route / poor performance

[desunet]

For some reason, Cloudflare's anycast IPs are routing through Germany:

With IPv4, I get the proper endpoint in Seattle:

traceroute to cloudflare.com (198.41.214.162), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

6  198.41.214.162 (198.41.214.162)  9.771 ms  6.900 ms  7.033 ms


This results in poor bandwidth (about 2 megabits/second) and applies to every Cloudflare site I tried that had an AAAA record for its domain, such as medium.com (same traceroute through Frankfurt).

Is anyone else seeing this?
