The only visible part        MV>> of the link is the IPv6 WAN address of the router. It is outside        MV>> the /56 assigned to the user, the link may just use a /128.               VS> Do you see the WAN address of the router in the `traceroute -6`        VS> output?              No.               MV>> The modem/router supplied by the ISP assigns one /64 for the LAN        MV>> and another /64 for the guest network. More /64 out of the /56        MV>> can be obtained by connecting extra routers.               VS> Very little flexibility IMHO. Can you at least assign a static IPv6        VS> address within the LAN /64?              Sure. How do you think I got my f1do address?               MV>> For IPv6 one must use the modem/router from the provider. When        MV>> the modem/router from the provider is set in bridge mode, the        MV>> connection becomes IPv4 only.               VS> This looks very similar to what I've heard from a Rostelecom        VS> representative. This probably means that the IPv6 is not really        VS> "native" and there is some kind of tunnel terminated at the        VS> provider-owned CPE.              The odd thing is that on a premium bussines account there is no such       restriction. With such an account one has dual stack with the modem in bridge.       So I don't think your theory is correct.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 203/0 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/424 426 428 550 664 700 240/5138 5411 5824 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 249/206 317 400 250/1 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 2452/250 2454/119 5019/40 5020/545 1042       SEEN-BY: 5020/12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 240/5832 229/426           |
