Hello, Just wondering if Telstra supports IPv6? It didn't think so, however I seem to be receiving RA packets on 80% of my connections, which automatically configures an IPv6 address and route. The problem with this is that IPv6 packets are getting silently dropped, so I have to drop the default route in order to force my computer to websites such as Google using IPv4. Otherwise the connections time out. If there is someway this could be my fault ... However I can't see how.

When I last checked (several years ago, at best), they supported it only over their high-end business-grade connections, and definitely not over Bigpond. If they had commenced support for it recently, I would expect them to have made noise about it in a press release.

That is what I would have thought too. However, in that case why am I receiving RA packets? -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
