IPv6 routing problem from 2001:4830:164c::/48 to argo.pyxos.net and plasma.querx.com
[us] Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 27 September 2007 03:24:15
My tunnel appears to be up and working, but I am experiencing a problem routing to some IPv6 space; specifically argo.pyxos.net (2002:423b:6d88::1), and plasma.querx.com (2002:423b:6dbf::1) - both are tun6to4 IPs.

IPv6 routing problem from 2001:4830:164c::/48 to argo.pyxos.net and plasma.querx.com

The big problem here is that it is 6to4, which means that there can be a lot of issues in the configuration of the various 6to4 hops. You will need to be able to diagnose the forward and reverse path in both IPv4 and IPv6 to find out where it goes wrong. For instance what is the IPv6 traceroute back from those hosts, are they actually able to reach 2001:4830::/32 and if there is a route, over which IPv4 and IPv6 hops does it lead and are these correctly configured. I suggest contacting the people who run those 6to4 nodes and letting them do a lot of debugging, or more easily just get a working tunnel. 6to4 is a great idea and it can work, but with the asymmetry in the Internet it is very hard if not impossible to debug.

Thanks for the information about potential problems with 6to4. I own one of the servers that has the 6to4 address (argo.pyxos.net), so I should be able to do debugging. The problem seems to have resolved itself overnight, so unfortunately that will have to wait until the problem arises again. Thanks again for your time. -Doug
