No ICMP6 echo reply from PoP

Hi there,
my tunnel has just been approved. I configured the tunnel with the given information on Debian etch (Sparc):
auto sixxs
iface sixxs inet6 v4tunnel
address 2001:6f8:900:886::2
netmask 64
endpoint 212.224.0.188
ttl 64
up ip link set mtu 1280 dev sixxs
up ip route add default via 2001:6f8:900:886::1 dev sixxs
ifconfig tells me (sorry, german locale):
sixxs Protokoll:IPv6-nach-IPv4
inet6 Adresse: 2001:6f8:900:886::2/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Global
inet6 Adresse: fe80::a00:6464/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung

TX packets:266 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:29215 (28.5 KiB)
That's the output of "ip addr show":
6: sixxs@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1280 qdisc noqueue
link/sit 0.0.0.0 peer 212.224.0.188

inet6 fe80::c0a8:6464/64 scope link

IMHO this looks quite good. Unfortunately, the PoP doesn't respond to ICMP echo requests (from tcpdump-ni ppp0 proto 41) despite the fact that iptables accepts proto 41 from anywhere:
17:59:51.567623 IP 87.79.236.146 > 212.224.0.188: IP6 2001:6f8:900:886::2 > 2001:6f8:900:886::1: ICMP6, echo request, seq 1, length 64
17:59:52.577068 IP 87.79.236.146 > 212.224.0.188: IP6 2001:6f8:900:886::2 > 2001:6f8:900:886::1: ICMP6, echo request, seq 2, length 64
17:59:53.577135 IP 87.79.236.146 > 212.224.0.188: IP6 2001:6f8:900:886::2 > 2001:6f8:900:886::1: ICMP6, echo request, seq 3, length 64
[...]
Am I missing something? The Tunnelrobot wrote:
"The SixXS PoP at AS4589 will set up the tunnel automatically in the next hour. Please be patient and do not be alarmed if the tunnel does not ping after you enabled it." That was yesterday at 22:22 UTC. Do I have to wait some more time, or is there something wrong with my setup?
regards,
Marcel

Hi,
Problem is solved now. It seems, I was too impatient. After enabling the tunnel it seems it takes some time, for get the thing up and running.
regards,
Marcel
