IPv6 Native with Telstra, Australia

If we screen connect and I fix this, what will you donate to the FreeBSD foundation?
-
@derelict With that exact packet capture rule, here is what I captured using exactly that.
-
Right. You have to start the capture, capturing enough packets to get what you are interested in (say 100000) THEN edit/save WAN to trigger a DHCP6 event.
I did not say to capture all IPv6. I said to capture IPv6 UDP 547. We are not interested in ANYTHING except DHCP6.

Mate - take it to the bank that I will. And if you don't, you post in here that you were wrong :) lol.

Well, that work flow I missed :). So I've just done what you've said and you are right, and I am wrong. Here is the packet capture of UDP 547.
But if you fix IPv6 for me and get it going, I'll donate US$50. Fair?

So the ISP is not responding. Go back to them with that. I can't do anything about that.

Sweet. I will do exactly that and report back. I'll donate the US$50 once I'm up and running with IPv6 given the time you've spent on this for me. Tell me how I actually do the donation - is there a link?

You said you had someone sympathetic at the ISP. Send them that pcap. Ask why there is no response.

Just did exactly that. He is a good guy and actually runs a large part of the network. He'll look into this if he has time (technically this is unsupported but he is a techo at heart and likes to see things working). Basically I'm relying on his good will. Let's see what he says.

@Derelict Whilst I think of it, what is going on at the ICMP level where Telstra does respond back to pfsense (neighbor solicit), but pfsense doesn't do anything with Telstra's response? Telstra stated in their email to me that they believe that is part of the problem. What should I say back to Telstra in relation to that?
-
@larrikin Putting aside the DHCP6 PD issue - have you tried setting WAN interface IPv6 to SLAAC?

Thanks for your response and interest in this. Telstra has made it clear they don't support SLAAC and only DHCP.
@Derelict Heard back from my Telstra contact. He is away until Monday but he is going to look into it then. Still interested in your thoughts on the ICMP stuff above...
-
@larrikin Exactly which DHCP6 does Telstra claim they support? Stateless (which is reallly SLAAC + DHCP6-PD) or Stateful?
I wouldn't be surprised if they support SLAAC even if they claim not to.

I wouldn't be surprised if they support SLAAC even if they claim not to.Stateful. This is consistent with other third party routers who have managed to get their stuff working on Telstra. I think the key here is I have a contact in Telstra who is going to look at the packet captures, compare them against the back end DHCPv6 logs, and see what is going on. Until we have that information, I honestly would just be playing further in the dark, and I'd rather wait for the Telstra chap to get back to me with what's really going on.

@larrikin Unfortunately the presence of the ICMPv6 neighbour solicit packet points towards SLAAC in operation.
DHCPv6 operates using IPv6/UDP on port 547.
This may not help right now ... but possibly something for your Telstra contact(s) to investigate.

Wow, I think you are onto something. Care to take a look at this new packet capture? It is certainly showing a lot more now that it did before.

I really am in unchartered space here in terms of my knowledge. I've put the WAN interface as SLAAC, and the LAN as SLAAC as well. No idea what the LAN interface should actually be. Not getting any IPv6 addresses yet, but I feel its closer based on the packet capture (although, I may well be mis-reading it and have no idea what I am doing :)).

Actually, that entire exercise might be a red herring. More info about to follow on further testing.

Now this is interesting.

If you've got time, I think you'll find that post very, very informative. It just got put up there. I'd love to know what you think.

Also, I found an old post from another forum who claimed he got pfsense to work with Telstra and he left an old packet capture of it working. I attach it here. I can't make head or tail of it.
