traceroute6 yields weird results

Hi!
I noticed a strange problem with traceroute6 from my v6 subnet. I know that the sixxs-gw does not answer pings due to rate limiting, which is okay. But it seems that the first few hops are not answering. For example if I traceroute6 orange.kame.net:
traceroute6 to orange.kame.net (2001:200:0:8000::42) from 2001:6f8:12e9:2001:20e:a6ff:fee1:591d, 64 hops max, 12 byte packets
1 2001:6f8:12e9:2001::1 0.713 ms 0.333 ms 0.249 ms
2 2001:6f8:12e9::f002:1 19.082 ms 18.155 ms 18.246 ms

all tracepath6s yield similar results.
traces from the sixxs website (and other sites) into my network show normal behavior. I tried to find out what the cause of this problem is but I`m stuck at the moment. Anyone got an idea what I could try or if the problem isn`t even on my side?
Thanks in advance

gna. I should have noted that i can ping each and every hop from here to the destination as far as i could get hold of a DNS name or IP6 address.
Also, this might not be the right forum, as this might not be a setup problem. If so I kindly apologize for posting in the wrong forum.

What kind of traceroute are you using, ICMP, TCP or UDP based?
Also check your TTL on the tunnel, it has to be 64, not inherit.

Hello!
Thank you. A short ip tunnel change sixxs ttl 64 fixed the problem. Although i suspeceted the problem being a ttl problem, it probably would have taken me ages to find out about the tunnel ttl setting.
Thank you very much!
