Singtel fibre and IPv6

[liangtam]

If it is /16, then it is not correct.
The LAN segment on your end should be a /64

In fact the prefix singnet had was only a /32, not even /16.

You are correct. What I saw was the 6to4 address, which is what is called "generic stateless public ipv6 tunneling" and definitely not what I wanted.

According to experts on #openwrt at Freenode, all it should take is to enable DHCPv6 on the interface. When I do so, I can see router solicitation packets go out, but Singtel gives me no reply.

I think I may have found some further information. In order to test this, I need to know what the Singtel v6 prefix is. Could you tell me what v6 network address you're getting? Also, I need the 6rd peer address (which is the IPv4 address of the gateway). Do you have that information in your router configuration somewhere?

The settings required to up v6 connectivity on singnet

Here's a Screenshot on what to set on my 友訊 router as example.

Well, thats it.

As above.
This should be automatically calculated.

You can refer to OpenWRT wiki 6rd part
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/network6#upstream.configuration.for.wan-interfaces

However, if you want to understand the part on how is your v6 LAN prefix determined in 6 Rapid Deployment.
That would be

ISP's-Prefix/xx : your v4 WAN IP /32

Given that the first part is 2400:d803::/32, and assuming v4IP is 1.2.3.4 with 0 mask length - when converted to hexadecimal, that would be :102:304
So 2400:d803:0102:0304::/64

I tried out the IPv6 connection and I don't think it is ready for full time deployment on Singtel. No doubt overseas speed is faster because Singtel offloads their data to tier1 carriers in HK instead of using their own backbone for overseas transit. But the overall ping and response is also higher for a lot of IPv6 sites.

That's what I needed. It works great now. The only thing that was a bit special when setting it up on OpenWRT is that the peer address have to be the IP-address and not the host name. I presume this is because when the router starts up, it attempts to configure IPv6 before the IPv4 connection is fully working.

Was thinking my asus rt n56u should be able to do IPv6 right?

With OpenWRT, yes. It should work. I don't know if it's supported on stock firmware though.

Yes. My 華碩 N56U setting.

How to set up man , first time learning IPv6.

How about my side ? my pc , laptop , handphone all must support IPv6?

All modern operating systems support IPv6, and at least Android will also use it if available.

If you have an operating system that doesn't support it, it will just use IPv4 and there will be no difference.

Enter each field box with the info as per the screenshot accordingly lor. Just need to copy exactly.

However, I dont know the status or support of this, so there might just not be any v6 support yet.

You also need to have IPv6 enabled. You can check that on the customer page on the Singtel site.

link? under My Account?

Yes. You log in to Onepass and then under the fibre connection entry there is Show Details there is a list of addons. IPv6 should be there.

 

[liangtam]

Got screenshot? It always give me an error msg instead.
And I dont think they can stop u from applying 6rd on your router even if not enabled.

it is not available in the Add-ons for me...

 

[chaicka]

liangtam,

Does that means SingTel's IPv6 deployment is kinda "tunnel" model and not "native" model?

Pardon my lack of in-depth knowledge on IPv6. So much development on IPv6 in recent years.

not available for me too..
