can't ping a certain remote ipv6 host
![]()
I found an IPv6 address at my college, but I can't seem to ping it via my tunnel from SixXS. We can ping mirror.teleport-iabg.de from our IPv6 box on campus and I can ping that same site from here on my SixXS tunnel.
jon787@tesla:~$ ping6 www.ipv6.mtu.edu
PING www.ipv6.mtu.edu(brak.tc.mtu.edu) 56 data bytes
From v3327-mpd.cr1.lax1.us.occaid.net icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: No route
From v3327-mpd.cr1.lax1.us.occaid.net icmp_seq=2 Destination unreachable: No route
My IPv6 endpoint is 2001:4830:1500:a6::2/64 and my POP is uschi01 - OCCAID Inc.
I'm curious if people at other POPs can ping www.ipv6.mtu.edu 2001:468:1408:2::1:22

Unfortunately peerings between the educational world in the US and the rest of the internet are always a bit flaky, especially in IPv6. Hopefully soon Abilene gets all of this sorted and finally will be providing IPv6 transit to their users allowing also traffic from School <-> Abilene <-> Commercial entity...
The above traceroute shows an !N, aka the complete network is not reachable. Strangely enough BGP indicates that there should be a route.
I'll give a note to some people asking if they can check it up, might help.

I talked to one of MTU's sysadmins today and it seems Merit (MTU's ISP) screwed up with IPv6 and is hopefully fixing it this week.
