    VS> Those of you lucky to have a *native* IPv6 connection from your   
    VS> ISP, could you please share what network topology your ISP   
    VS> offers. E.g.   
      
   On my router I show a /128 address on the WAN interface and a /64 address on   
   the LAN interface.  I've played around a bit with this and I can request a /56   
   from my ISP and split that up into multiple /64's on subinterfaces.   
      
    VS> Do you see the WAN address of the router in the `traceroute -6` output?   
      
   I see the ::1/64 address from the LAN interface:   
      
   >tracert -6 dns.google   
      
   Tracing route to dns.google [2001:4860:4860::8888]   
   over a maximum of 30 hops:

   The current /128 address on my WAN interface is 2607:f798:804:2e   
   :19b0:e74b:fc6:d707/128 so it looks like hop 2 is the ::1 address from that   
   prefix.

   ... I'd love to help you out. Which way did you come in?
