[outages] IPv6 routing loop in GTT ?

2014-10-07 Thread Mark Felder via Outages
I am using Charter's 6rd IPv6 tunnel at home and noticed within the last few days I can't get to/from my Digital Ocean VM via IPv6. From both Digital Ocean and Charter 6rd tunnel I can get to Google, Facebook, etc via IPv6 but not to each other. It appears there are routing issues in GTT as it

Funny, Just saw something about Belkin routers and a botched firmware upgrade. I wonder if this is what they meant. That being said, it is working fine from Zito Media in Clanton, AL. --John On 10/07/2014 10:17 AM, Paul Miller via Outages wrote: On one of my netblocks my subscribers can

Just because you can ping it does not mean it will work. I've confirmed with other users this is the case. I believe there is some sort of HTTP request that confirms the connection is working (like Windows, Android, etc). Another resolution is to just loopback 67.20.176.130 (seems to be this IP

Where? I keep reading bad firmware problems but everything suggests there is no automatic upgrade and I think we can safely assume resi users didn't upgrade their routers over night. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Tue, Oct 7,

I believe it needs to both be pingable and attempt an HTTP request. If the HTTP request fails and ping works, the router just assumes the Internet is working. If it can't ping it, it assumes the Internet is down. I don't have any Belkin routers on hand so I can't confirm this theory. Josh

I think it was initially suspected to be a firmware upgrade, but I doubt that's the case now. It's interesting to me that there are two seemingly unrelated fixes: 1. Put the IP for heartbeat.belkin.com on a loopback 2. Manually add working DNS entries to affected PCs Reports indicate that either

In my experience. It breaks DNS Masquerading. So any DNS query sent to the router goes unanswered. Verified this with a customer by having them hard-set their Local DNS (On their computer) to my public resolvers. I suspect anything that didn't require DNS worked fine (RDP inbound..SIP
