      Hi all!

      So I finally managed to deploy IPv6 to my whole network (home).
      Exchange, IIS, Apache all working great so far :)

      But I have trouble with Android devices.
      My tablet or windows phone get IPv6 address without a problem, but my Android devices (3 different phones and 3 different android versions) do not.
      Also all windows notebooks get IPv6 without any trouble…

      Here is the funny thing...
      When I had IPv6 over HE.net, my Android deviced DID get IPv6 now with native NO-GO...

      Provider gave me /56 which I divided into 16 networks of /60.

      Can /60 be the problem here?
      Should I went with /64 for my local networks?

      Thanks for any suggestions :)

        I actually answered my own question…

        Local subnets MUST be /64 always.

        When I changed from /60 to /64 all started to work as it should.

          @maverick_slo:

          Not strictly true, but SLAAC (auto-config) will indeed not work with anything other than a /64.

            Yeah, for android devices is a must, they only use SLAAC.
