Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media
The throttling kicked in after about 15 seconds. I'm in North Manchester. Interestingly, I've been seeing IPv6 router advertisements of 2a02:8800:f000:1630::/64 and 2a02:88fd:16:4::/64 for over a month now but nothing is offering DHCPv6 or SLAAC, and the router that's advertising those routes is rejecting packets if I pick my own v6 address in one of those ranges.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: IPv6 support on Virgin media
Not any more. They're applying throttling to IPv6 tunnels (eg. to Hurricane Electric) since the big routing disaster a few months ago. I can start the tunnel, then start an IPv6 test download, and I can see an initial burst of full speed, then it gradually gets throttled back to about 2Mbps. I'm on a Hub 5 with Gig1 service. I've been seeing IPv6 route advertisements for about a month, but no DHCPv6, which really mucks things up if your router decides to believe the RAs (you get a default route but no global v6 address to use it with).1.8KViews0likes3Comments
