I used a /64 as peering lan, configured the network interfaces, set up the peerings and all went smooth for about one week. Two days ago one of the machines rebooted, and since then i have a very strange behaviour of the network. Network is made of box1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and box200, which is a xen machine hosted by box5, box4 really is a Mikrotik box... "Box1" and "Box200" can reach all other boxes as expected. "Box2" can reach all boxes except 4,5 and 6 "box3" can reach all boxes except 4,5 and 6 "box4" can reach box1 and 200 only "box5" can reach box1 and 200 only "box6" can reach box 1 and 200 only "box7" can reach all boxes except 4,5 and 6 i tried to check with tcpdump, pinging box7 from box6.. what i get is, from box6 14:13:57.662327 IP6 xxxx:xxxx::6 > xxxx:xxxx::7: ICMP6, echo request, seq 234, length 64 as expected, but no reply.. ip neighbor shows xxxx:xxxx::7 dev eth0 lladdr 00:0e:0c:b8:70:a4 router REACHABLE On box7 tcpdump i see no requests coming.. If i try to ping from box7 to box6 i get, on box7 16:21:14.891742 IP6 xxxx:xxxx::7 > xxxx:xxxx::6: ICMP6, echo request, seq 47, length 64 and on box6 14:19:51.765354 IP6 xxxx:xxxx::7 > 2001:4c00::6: ICMP6, echo request, seq 2, length 64 14:19:51.765366 IP6 xxxx:xxxx::6 > 2001:4c00::7: ICMP6, echo reply, seq 2, length 64 but i can see no reply on box7 ip neig , on box 7 reports no entry for box6 xxxx:xxxx::6 dev eth2 lladdr 00:30:48:98:5d:84 DELAY network interfaces are correct. or... i can se the echo request on both boxes (when pinging from the box) and no reply (but no "unreachable" either) I'm pretty confused, as the same boxes work with ipv4 without problems and worked pretty fine with ipv6 too for about one week. Any hint? Thank you very much, ricky
