I should have stated that I tried icmpv6, UDP, and TCP traceroute with the same results. Looks like Cogent is not returning TTL expired IPV6 packets within their core. I can only guess that this is a result of using 6PE and propagating the IPV6 TTL into MPLS. Clinton On Sun, Nov 3, 2013, at

You can actually use DHCPv6 to assign addresses to hosts dynamically on longer than /64 networks. However, you may have to go to some effort to add DHCPv6 support to those hosts first. Also, there is no prefix-length (or default router) option in DHCPv6, so you have to configure the

Don't assume that DHCPv6 is the same as DHCP. DHCPv6 does not provide route information because this task is handled by RA in IPv6. An IPv6 RA has flags for Managed (M), Other (O), and Autonomous (A) address configuration. None of these flags are exclusive. While most routers have the A flag
