6RD prefix: 2602:240::/28
6RD Endpoint: 184.23.144.1
My Asus RT-AC66U has a field labeled, "IPv4 Router Mask Length" right below the field for the 6rd endpoint. The router defaults to a value of, "24". When that failed, I poked around the Internet, and came across a web page for configuring a Comcast 6rd tunnel. The instructions were to use a value of, "0", in that field. When I changed from "24" to "0", I could finally get something going; but I am still failing at http://test-ipv6.com/ with the following Asus configuratin:

Code: Select all

Connection type           [Tunnel 6rd]	 
DHCP Option               ( )Enable (*)Disable 
IPv6 Prefix               2602:240::	 
IPv6 Prefix Length        28
IPv4 Border Router        184.23.144.1
IPv4 Router Mask Length   0
Tunnel MTU                [   ]
Tunnel TTL                [255]
In fact, I think dane should specify the mask length, which I assume is the "redundant part." It appears everyone will get a /60 because the addresses will be in the form [28-bit prefix of Sonic][IPv4 address in hex form]/60 (by design of 6rd), but that might not be so in the future because Sonic may not need the first few bits of the IPv4 address (the prefix specified), depending on what its IPv4 space looks like. In other words, if Sonic could find a way to uniquely specify IPv6 prefixes while omitting redundancies in the embedded IPv4, prefixes greater than /60 could possibly be assigned (theoretically it would be implemented using multiple 6rd servers, one for each IPv4 range).

The apparent BGP problems here are a reason why this is a test, after all.

my existing sonic 6in4 tunnel still works, but i'm having reachability problems with 6rd..

setup (i deleted my existing sonic 6in4 tunnel and ipv6 addresses before this test):

Code: Select all

$ ip addr add 2602:244:624c:44f0::1/60 dev 6rd
$ ip link set 6rd up
$ ip route add ::/0 via ::184.23.144.1 dev 6rd

For anyone wanting to configure a Netgear DGND3700v2 (or possibly any other current Netgear router) I am having success with the following configuration.

Internet Connection Type: 6to4 Tunnel
Remote 6to4 Relay Router: Auto
LAN Setup: Use DHCP Server
IPv6 Filtering: Open

We are experiencing similar behavior, where 6rd traffic leaves the Sonic.net network, but fails when it comes to end-to-end connectivity. We are actively working to fix these issues, and I will post an update once I have some news. At this exact moment, we have our 6rd prefix configured for 2602:240::/32 and it is working fine for me. The disadvantage, is that this only allows customers a single /64 network for use. If anyone would like to try testing their configuration with a /32 prefix, I would love to know whether it is working for you or not.

Good to know! I apologize for the instability, but in order to get this working I will be upgrading code on the aggregation boxes and switching around the prefix length throughout the day today, so expect some intermittent connectivity.

btw, are we going to have control over reverse DNS in our networks like we do in the current 6in4 tunnel solution?
At this moment we do not have a way to give you control over your own PTR records for these blocks, however in the future, static IP customers will be given control over their PTR records (however I'm not sure how that functionality will be delivered)

Does "6to4" give you a Sonic.net IPv6 IP address? AFAIK, Sonic.net is using both "6in4", and "6rd", but I have seen no mention of "6to4".

6rd is a modified version of 6to4, so it might be possible to trick a router into using 6rd by using 6to4.
