Sorry, *fix the devices*. IPv6 must work and that's not up for discussion. You 
could use that excuse in 10 years ago, not in 2018.

The router is not an issue because we're talking about local network traffic 
only. The router is not involved. If, however, you have a Level 3 switch that 
is dropping certain packets, then fix them because it's interfering with 
legitimate traffic. If it blocks IPv6, it may block other things, including 
the IPv4 multicast CoAP requests that you would otherwise need (that's exactly 
what happens at our offices with the WiFi).

If you simulated, the simulator may be the problem or may have hidden the 
problem. Please test this on actual device, with actual network and actual 
applications. I need you to run tcpdump on the sender device and start it 
before you launch the IoTivity application.

It could be simply because IPv6 gets address assignment very quickly 
(stateless) whereas IPv4 needs to wait for DHCP. Please confirm that the 
network interface had IP addresses assigned before the IoTivity application 
launched.
