Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

Thanks, I’ve received an address here. I’m using my own router, could you confirm the delegated prefix size and where to look for further configuration info.

Thanks again

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

The prefix is a static /56.

On the Plusnet Hub 2 it just works out of the box. On the none-Plusnet routers I've tested it with if necessary I just needed to ensure the router was configured to use DHCPv6 and then after a PPP reset it picked up the prefix.

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

@dave looks like it isn't working with my Google Wifi router, so will need to do some more digging to see if it just doesn't work. (still have my Plusnet router so I can swap that back in later to test first)

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

@archifishal 

a quick search for 'google wifi router ipv6 pppoe' suggests that there may be problems with pppoe & ipv6 on that router.

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

Thanks @dave! all working for me, delegates successfully across 2 subnets using openWRT.

As an observation the ipv6 ping times are quite variable with ipv4 being very steady. Sometimes ipv6 is faster and sometimes upwards of 100ms slower.

Please let us know if you want further specific feedback.

 

Is the assigned prefix static?

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

@MisterW https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/6361450 does suggest it should be possible to get it working though. At the moment it feels like a useful data point for Plusnet to check (I guess they should be able to see if I'm even requesting DHCPv6)

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

@archifishal your link doesnt mention PPPoE. My guess (from my search) is that it doesn't support DHCPv6 over the PPPoE tunnel and that its try to get an IPv6 prefix directly via the physical WAN port
