To pile on in the spirit of "if people don't complain, nothing will change" - is VZB still insisting on filtering >/32 at their peers? While ARIN is allocating /40s and /48s directly?
I believe so ... will be even more impactful as LTE gets deployed.
Another nit - They are also blocking Protocol41 on their EV-DO network. While this is a 'noble, if poorly thought out, effort' to prevent IPv6 from impacting their cel phone users - it kind of messes up those of us who have aircards (and got used to 6to4 for quick and dirty IPv6 connectivity).
If you want quick&dirty then 6to4 is not going to help you in most cases anyway, as you are mostly landing behind a NAT, as such Teredo (miredo on non-windows boxes) is a way out and there is of course TSP which can run over TSP and AYIYA. For some magical reason I prefer the last ;)
In general, yes - but VZW's EV-DO (currently) always hands-out a public IP ...
Also note that is it is their network, they can filter all they want, just like you do you in your own.
Sure, and ISPs that do this (too much) get bad press and lose customers ...
(How did you btw determine that it is filtered, maybe the 6to4 packets are just not coming back from a broken relay somewhere, that is very hard to determine)
Because someone (who may have been employed by my employer) showed them that cel phones were horrendously exposed (I am looking at you, Windows Mobile devices) to IPv6 via Prot41 ... and their answer, rather than fix the problem, was to just block Prot41 (whether this is an ACL or they black-hole 192.88.99.1 I don't care, they should (IMHO) stop). Atleast that was what I heard, and 6to4 currently fails - leading me to believe this to be the case. (I also believe they are munging AAAAs queries or replies, but haven't taken the time to poke into that or work around it as I just use less-quick and less-dirty IPv6 connectivity - which may include the options you plugged :) ) -- /TJ
