Hello everyone I recently got IPv6 working at home LAN. My Android device (Google Nexus 5) is connected via wifi to LAN and LAN's core router is Map2N <http://routerboard.com/RBmAP2n>. I have a /64 on the LAN with "advertise" enabled to make ND to work and have autoconfig working on all devices. There are bunch of other layer 2 devices in LAN but all just acting as layer 2 transparently and core L3 remains on Map2N. All works well for most part but only trouble I am getting is on Nexus 5 where after around 24hrs IPv6 stops working. Only unusual thing I notice at that time is that phone 4 IPv6 as opposed to 2 (autoconf and temporary randomised address). Seems like some kind of issue in way NDP works either on Microtik or phone. The fix I am doing from few days is to restart wifi and phone interface gets fresh (two) IPv6 addresses and all works well again. Anyone facing similar issue? (Note: No issues on OS X or iOS which are in same LAN) I can try DHCPv6 but I guess most of devices do not support it yet. (I see support for that in routerboard though).

How, specifically, does it "stop working" on the Nexus 5? - temp addresses expired and does not generate new, valid, slaac addresses? - RA entry ages out and doesn't get refreshed? - cannot reach v6 gateway (ND fails somehow)?

Unless something's changed, DHCPv6 IA_NA isn't an option for getting an IPv6 address assigned to an Android device[1][2]
Thanks.

On the nexus 5, if you are running android 6, you should enable older style dhcp. It can be found in the dev section.
Intersting. Sure, would be fun to try DHCPv6. Last time when I checked only OS X was supporting it with limited sense. On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 2:31 PM, Chaim Rieger <chaim.rieger@gmail.com> wrote:
