/64 isn't...?

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.
NIC handle MNC2-SIXXS
Running a static 6to4 tunnel from 150.101.89.3.
My understanding was that the v6 address that'd be allocated to the tunnel would be a /64.
I have 2a01:348:6:4e::2 at my end, so that'd mean I'd be able to set up my tunnel end point as a router with reachability to anything that started with 2a01:348:6:4e::/64.
However -- from 2001:44b8:f020::1, a traceroute yields the following:
bdr1.sjc2>traceroute 2a01:348:6:4e::3
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 2A01:348:6:4E::3

(of course, tracerouting to :1 and :2 works)
Is my understanding incorrect? Is the tunnel actually carrying a /126 instead of a /64 ?
Thanks,

Just to clarify, you most very likely mean 6in4 or proto-41 and not 6to4, which is proto-41 with 2002::/16 addresses.
Only ::1 (PoP), and ::2 (Your end of the tunnel) are in use in that /64.
If you want to have a subnet (a /48), then request a subnet.
From the FAQ: "Note well that in tunnels from the /64 only ::1 (the PoP) and ::2 (your endpoint) can be used as the rest is not routed. Thus if you need to connect other hosts do it correctly and request a subnet."
