- the kernel probably sets it to /64 anyway. if you then look at your config and substitute /80 by /64, then all your hosts appear to be on the same link, where they aren't.
- use /64 and do addressing for the 2 links. example:
host1 eth0 = fec0::1:e2d2:50:fcb2:7251 / 64 router eth0 = fec0::1:e2d2:50:fcb1:de7b / 64 router eth1 = fec0::2:a4b4:11:111b:9dd3 / 64 host2 eth0 = fec0::2:a4b4:50:fcb2:4574 / 64
- fec0, site-local, is currently being deprecated. You can still use it for testing purposes, but don't plan to do a whole ipv6 addressing plan with this.

Hi all, I am a new user of Ipv6 and I am using the following simple setup: Host1------Router--------Host2 Host1,Host2 & router are linux(kernel version 2.4.18-4 ) pcs with ipv6 insmoded .(Dual Stack is present on all 3 m/cs).On router,I have enabled forwarding.
The ipv6 addresses are as follows:
host1 eth0 = fec0::e2d2:50:fcb2:7251 / 80 router eth0 = fec0::e2d2:50:fcb1:de7b / 80 router eth1 = fec0::a4b4:11:111b:9dd3 / 80 host2 eth0 = fec0::a4b4:50:fcb2:4574 / 80
Added corresponding routes on host1 and host2
Now the problem is , ping6 from host1 to host2 is successful sometimes and failure sometimes.In case of failure,it gives "Destination not reachable:Address unreachable" message.
Why is it behaving abnormally?? Am I missing some configuration ? Or is the problem with my m/cs? Also, are there are any better test tools?? Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance, Sharmila
