I had earlier disabled ipv6 entirely on my computer as I was noticing with my ISP that ipv6 routes were subject to problems that the ipv4 routes weren't -- sites timing out more often when on ipv6 (which I knew via the handy IPvFox extension), and general slowness issues. All problems went away when disabling ipv6, and came back when re-enabling it.
Is there a reasonable technical explanation for this phenomenon? I'll turn ipv6 back on this Friday.
- q3k 12y agoYes - your ISP just has shitty IPv6 routing (ie. poor peering and transit agreements). Happens on one of my lines as well (“experimental” IPv6 support that basically reaches only 1/3 of the internet). Even Europe's largest hosting provider (OVH) has some IPv6 issues (their routers seem to ignore your existence if you do not keep spamming NDP NA packets).
