Routing problem in amis.net?
Carmen Sandiego on Monday, 07 September 2009 23:56:21
Hi! I have a 6to4 at my home and sixxs at work.
My sixxs IP is 2001:15c0:65ff:d2::2
My home IP is 2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110
The problem is that I cannot connect between them although connection to other IPv6 sites seems to be OK from both sites!
The traceroute from both sides seems to stop in the very same place:
# traceroute6 2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110
traceroute to 2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110 (2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110) from 2001:15c0:65ff:d2::2, 30 hops max, 16 byte packets

2 maribor3-vlan-4.amis.net (2001:15c0:ffff:7::1) 42.824 ms 45.515 ms 46.947 ms

and:
# traceroute6 2001:15c0:65ff:d2::2
traceroute to 2001:15c0:65ff:d2::2 (2001:15c0:65ff:d2::2) from 2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110, 30 hops max, 16 byte packets

Is there some problem at maribor3.amis.net?
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Hi!
I have a tunnel from the Amis POP and if I traceroute your ***:6110 address it also stops at the second hop, just as for you. For other hosts, like ipv6.google.com, it goes thru nicely.
Hope this info helps you further...

The ::6110 is my SixXS IP so the problem is not related to 6to4.
Do you know any contact address for Amis to report the problem?

2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110 = 6to4 (2002::/16) of which the IPv4 is 217.153.86.110.
6to4 has nothing to do with SixXS and we recommend people to steer away from it as one cannot debug it....

You are right. I have pasted the wrong address.
Effectively I can debug 6to4 as I know who operates the router I'm using as the other side of the tunnel. However the problem lays further deep in the IPv6 Internet.
Alternatively I can request for more tunnels but I don't wont to utilize more 'neverending' IPv6 ranges than I need without good purpose.

Knowing the other side doesn't matter, it is the intermediate hops in both IPv4 and IPv6 that count.
Alternatively I can request for more tunnels but I don't wont to utilize more 'neverending' IPv6 ranges than I need without good purpose.
We suggest that everybody:
- get a tunnel when you want to make a single host IPv6 connected.
- get a tunnel+subnet when you want a host + network IPv6 connected.
The option for multiple tunnels&subnets is there, just have enough credits.

You are right. The routing back to 6to4 might be faulty and in general hard to debug.
I'll do what you suggested. I have about 600 credits so it won't be a problem.
Thank you for you explanations.
Best regards.

6to4 issues can exist anywhere on both the IPv4 and the IPv6 layer.
As debugging is because of that extremely difficult I can only suggest to not use it, unless you have control over/ability to check both all IPv4 nodes involved and all IPv6 nodes involved.
Generally 6to4 also causes very scenic routing.
FYI: I cannot reach 2002:d999:566e::2171:5308:6110 either when trying to traceroute from other locations.
