I for one get really irritated when my traceroutes and pings are broken and I need to troubleshoot things. ;-) But I guess something has to give.
My home connection gets IPv6 connectivity via a tunnelbroker tunnel, i didn't use the "tunnel interface" addresses in the instructions but configured it without addresses, traceroutes (in all directions) show up with the routers single assigned global address. Routers would still have a single global address assigned to loopback (or anywhere) for management/packet generation purposes so traceroutes should work fine, although rather than getting a per-interface address you'll get a per-router address. What addresses do you currently get in the real world? some routers give a loopback address, some give the ingress interface, some give the egress interface, all you can safely assume from the address is the router it hit. - Mike
