Vumatel Fibre + ISP for IPv6

[GazShell]

Weird, I have IPv6 enabled and configured for DHCPv6/SLAAC, but I'm not receiving an IPv6 address or prefix. I'm in the Durbanville area. Is that the correct configuration, or is there something else I should be checking?

Are you on Afrihost? If yes check with @Afrigirl There were some issues with some packages that were fixed.

Was with Afrihost, Recently moved over to Atomic access, will have a look, thanks for the feedback

Hi,

We had to let go of @GazShell, and the line was officially released this morning.

Unfortunately, we were unable to provide IPv6 due to ongoing issues with Vumatel's IP allocation process. The client urgently required IPv6 connectivity for work related purposes and could not wait for the issue to be resolved.

So far Afrihost is the only ISP that has IPv6 on Vumatel AE.

Its supported across the majority of the network already. Vumatel Active is a limitation from Vumatel (or more so was one). The Vumatel pon and layer2 portion we support v6 already.

If Afrihost can support it on AE, and CoolIdeas can support it elsewhere, what is the difference?

Vumatel used Afrihost as the first ISP to test v6. We are fully deployed as well but Vumatel are having issues in deploying completely themselves across AE.

So technically the AE infrastructure supports v6 now? Just waiting for Vuma to sort out there issues first.

Yeap.

What is interesting is that it was rolled out to Afrihost almost 3 years ago, but they are still struggling to deploy for other ISP's. Must be complicated.

Or else just "low priority".

Surely the guy who rolls out IPv6 and the guy who counts all the money are not the same person

Extensive PEBCAK complications.

It is a good thing the IPv8 proposal was a joke.
