IPv6 Native with Telstra, Australia

If it doesn't exist you are doing something wrong. I have no idea what that is.
If you set WAN to DHCP6 and save it, there will be outbound IPv6/UDP/547 traffic. Period.

I've factory reset pfsense twice, and done that exact packet capture. It isn't there. I even have pfsense configured like you suggested.
So unfortunately in this case, your statement that it will be there isn't true. I wish it were...
-
Ugh. Yes they do. Look at the packet capture settings again.

Here are my packet capture settings. Nice and simple. Capture ANY IPv6 traffic. If I just do UDP, NOTHING shows up at all. Nada. Zilch.
So if I pair it back to all IPv6, I get the packet capture that I've attached above.
-
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.

How much?

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.
