Unable to keep tunnel open
Shadow Hawkins on Monday, 27 April 2009 09:58:38
I've set up a ipv6 tunning using aiccu on a FC7 ppc box. The tunnel works fine an I'm already running SABnzbd on some ipv6 newsservers. The tunnel won't stay open however when the data transfers stops. I'll just end up with 100% loss.
It'll also stay open when I continuously ping any ipv6 address, but I have to set quite a high interval; ping6 -i 30 ipv6.google.com will keep the tunnel open, setting it to 40 seconds however won't keep the tunnel open.
The machine is behind a 3com router but I don't think that is causing problem. It doesn't do any SNAT itself.
It seems there is some sort of timeout somewhere, does anyone have any suggestions where I might find this?

Ah, I forgot to mention that this box does not do any routing....
[gonzo@imac ~]# iptables -L -t nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Other suggestions are welcome :)

Doesn't matter, if you have connection tracking compiled into your kernel, the behavior mentioned in that FAQ item happens.

Oke, the FAQ does not mention that. I did already add the NOTRACK to the raw table but that does not accomplish anything.

That is because the connection tracking might also happens in the next box, aka your '3com router'.

It took me some time to realize that, indeed... thanks for that insight.

And I allready tried to add the NOTRACK in the 'raw' table.
[gonzo@imac ~]# iptables -L -t raw
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
NOTRACK ipv6 -- anywhere anywhere
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
