I have read and followed the "Reporting Problems" section on the Contact page and am providing the following details for this report based on the list of items stated there:
Hi
I've just checked details of my tunnel T17640 and noticed that it was last alive on 2008-11-09 10:12:07 CET (over 11 hrs ago). I've checked the site and it works - I can ping POP from there:
yenna:~> ping6 uslax01.sixxs.net

64 bytes from 2001:4de0:1000:a5::2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=29.6 ms
and I can ping and traceroute my endpoint from my other site:

So the question is - why is POP not detecting that my side of a tunnel is up?

Please read the FAQ
The first hop of your traceroute is:
1 router.jot23.org (fdb1:8565:c849:1:21e:e5ff:fe43:b823) 0.571 ms 1.294 ms 1.258 ms
That is a ULA address, that can't be correct, as that is not globally routeable; next to that ping tests are performed between your endpoint and the PoP and not around the world.

I do not control the address the kernel chooses to respond. And linux 2.4 has been known to me to choose non rfc conformant address.
But that remark misses the point - the address I had the problem with is: 2001:1938:82:d::2 (which I do hope I clearly stated). This address is not properly monitored from pop (Last Alive 2008-11-09 10:12:07 CET - I've just copied and pasted it). Seeing the last alive I should have been charged 5 credits which hasn't happend as well.
I've left tcpdump on my sit tunnel - I haven't seen any pings coming in (and they supposedly are coming every 30 minutes) but I've seen some multicast traffic.
So the problem is - uslax01 POP does not properly monitor tunnels from it.

Jeroen Massar on Monday, 10 November 2008 21:27:04 I do not control the address the kernel chooses to respond.
Configure it correctly and it will respond from the correct address.
As the tunnel endpoints are being used to ping, the response should always be correct.
And linux 2.4 has been known to me to choose non rfc conformant address.
Where is the bug report about this?
So the problem is - uslax01 POP does not properly monitor tunnels from it.
It works fine.

1. router.jot23.org (fdb1:8565:c849:1:21e:e5ff:fe43:b823) doesn't really matter. The problem was on last hop, not the first.
2. Yes, uslax01 started pinging around 21:00-22:00 yesterday. So someone probably fixed it in the meantime.

ULA addresses are filtered at a lot of locations, thus all traffic (including ICMP or UDP used for those traceroutes) are dropped and thus might exactly cause what you are showing in your output.
