Hi,

Any BT Network engineers who might be able to have a look in to
something for me?

The router at 2a00:2302::1102:100:37 appears to be generating ICMPv6
Destination Unreachable messages when it should be generating TLL
Expired.

root@onsite:~# traceroute6 -I google.com
traceroute to google.com (2a00:1450:4009:80b::200e), 30 hops max, 80

As you can see, Destination Unreachable - however:

If I ignore the erronious packet from hop 4 I am able to reach the
destination just fine. Just to clarify this does not appear to impact
normal traffic and only causes problems for traceroute, but I can't
live without my traceroute...

Thanks
