Firefox seems to prefer IPV4 over IPV6 for some weird reasons

Got it working on my NT-56U. I was using HE.net , finally it is good to have native IPV6 support smile.gif

Just one curious question
If TM never assign a public IPv4 address, will IPv6 will help them to resolve the issue for CCTV or IPCam port forwarding?
*
As answered earlier uh , yes and no.

Your CCTV/IP camera needs to support IPV6. It is useless and most ones I have seen does not even have ipv6 stack installed (my cctv for instance runs on old linux 2.4.x kenrel without ipv6 compiled). So it is useless , even if my Telco network supports ipv6 and my router is able to handle IPV6 , but the device itself is not compatible with IPV6

well phone can use ipv6 ?
*
Yes , Android 4.x and iOS 5 and above supports IPV6. Not sure about earlier version of Android as I have not tested before

The phone might not show it has a IPV6 address under Settings , but try surfing with a browser and it is able to view IPV6 content and for some reason , like iPhone with iOS 7 for instance , it seems to prefer to fall back to ipv4 instead of ipv6 , when it is given a choice between the two.

A possible bandaid is to setup a IPv6-to-IPv4 proxy. With practically unlimited IPv6 addresses, you can even assign 1 IPv6 IP to 1 internal IPv4.
*
Thanks for the heads up. Didn't think of that , I am still searching the source code or any sort of information about the cctv in the internet so that it would be possible to recompile with ipv6 stack

1. more address space...
the first notable and obvious benefit, is for the entire netizen community, more ip addresses to accomodate more devices now and into the future  nod.gif thats one problem we can forget for now.
2. faster latency
You can run a test here
http://ipv6-test.com/pingtest/

well latency is most important for gamers. I remember a few years back when i was playing world of warcraft with Tmnut Adsl to the US server. I was averaging 600-800 MS latency. Barely playable as my reaction time was slower than other players, which is most noticeable in the battlegrounds and pvp. Basically i was playing with a nerf around my shoulders in terms of high latency  rclxub.gif

Then later i got Unifi 10mbps. My latency to US server these days around 200-300ms. This is drastically better  thumbup.gif

6. faster internet speed
*
WoW on IPV6 - latency is stable at 160ms. This is amazing , green latency

Even LFR times , it hovers around 201-210ms...

Noob question.

How to configure router/client to use "IPv6"?

Router: Asus RT-N56u

From the rounter ping tool service "ipv6.google.com".

Seem the router got IPv6 WAN IP.

user posted image

but the client doesn't pick up any IPv6 address.

How can i proceed from bellow? need some manual config? or everythings should be handle by DHCP?

Stock Firmware ? Get rid of it and use padavan's RT56U

For those who are using RT-56U

1. You need to flash to this 3rd party firmware. ASUS Firmware does support IPV6 for some reason it's super broke and it does not have radvd installed (which is needed to advertise to local computers) -> https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/

2. Once you have configured , go to IPV6 and set it up as follows

Do not bother off-loading to hardware for some reason it locks up. I think there might be a bug with the firmware I am using.

Just use get IP from both source , because one is from advertisement and other one is via DHCPv6. Not sure which one TM is using , so just put both


For DNSv6 , you can get the DNS servers automatically or use Google DNS Servers

I followed the instructions for the DIR-615 router but after reboot(with a DC), it still stayed at IPv4. What gives?

What does windows ipconfig prints out for you

i confirm got ipv6

but i'm not sure how to set up properly.
1. do i switch to opendns ipv6 ? or continue using tmnuts default dns ?
2. how to set chrome and firefox to prefer ipv6 when available ? Currently they prefer ipv4 :/
3. any other settings to do ?
4. does diablo 3 have ipv6 ? how to ping test to their server ?
*
1. I switched to Google's
2. It will automatically prefer IPV6 whenever posisble. Need to clear DNS cache and try lowyat.net , it will use ipv6
3. No
4. Yes , for World of Warcraft. Not sure about Diablo 3 . I assume it will work for it. http://ipv6.blizzard.com/

Oh ye, i see it tongue.gif
can you explain what is the differences btw ipv4 and ipv6 ? would it make my ping lower when i play game and speed up my connection?
*
In my case , World of Warcraft ping times have been reduced by 30-40ms.

There are some cases whereby the ping time increased

Again , your game server ,game client must support IPV6. So far World of Warcraft supports IPV6 , not sure if other MMO games support IPV6 or any other games


On IPV6 , there are some routes faster compared to IPV4. Again there are cases where it is worst

Performance may vary

Anyway for those who are wondering how IPV6 vs IPV4 in World of Warcraft. The difference is day and light

I am getting constant 180-190ms with IPV6 and it will be around 250-330ms with IPV4

no one believes your claimlah. it's useless.

it's just a case of tm adjusting/not adjusting ipv6 traffic for unifi subs.

you do traceroute lah, sure different routing path for ipv6.

Indeed , you can't compare apples and oranges..for iPV6 it is taking a different route...

Looks like for iPV4 , it gets routed to Telia (Europe) before going to America (AT&T) , wheres for IPV6 , it seems to be routing through he.net before reaching to AT&T Servers. Well IPV6 in this case seems to be offering a better route to US compared to iPV4

So in other words, a /64 is the norm that everyone gets, and /48, /56 or /60 are for 'special' cases/scenarios..

Yes that's correct

An example one may want o use /56 , is basically if you want to separate servers and client out , so you use different subnet , one for 'servers' and one for the 'clients'. This is an example.
