Reverse traceroute times out at remote end of T46493
Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 16 December 2010 18:34:32
Hello,
I am using a Windows 7 box (firewall disabled) with the command line AICCU application to do an IPv6 tunnel (T46493) to the usdal01 SixXs POP. For the TAP driver, I installed OpenVPN v 2.1.3... My IPv6 IP address is 2001:1938:80:1a2::2...
Here is my problem, I have the tunnel established, and working as far as I can tell from my end. IPv6 hosts ping perfectly, trace routes work. For instance, an printout from command prompt:
Tracing route to google.com [2a00:1450:8002::6a]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 29 ms 28 ms 37 ms gw-419.dal-01.us.sixxs.net [2001:1938:80:1a2::1]

13 181 ms 184 ms 182 ms 2a00:1450:8002::6a
Trace complete.
Everything works like a charm. I have a Nokia N900 using T-Mobiles beta IPv6 APN, and it can ping my Windows 7 machine just fine... So, what's the problem?
Reverse tracerouting fails at the final hop... Observe:

In contrast, if I try to reverse traceroute SixX's side of the tunnel, everything works fine...

Now, as mentioned before, I have the default windows firewall disabled...
Anyone have an idea what's going on? It doesn't seem to be affecting performance. I get 1.5Mbps at ipv6-speedtest.net, but it just seems like something is wrong if the reverse traceroute doesn't terminate properly.
Thanks in advance!
