AT&T Broken Uverse IPv6 routing.

Brandon,

I have heard some brief mentions on the web about AT&T converting some customers from 6rd to native IPv6 that has caused some problems, but I have not heard from enough people to confirm with great certainty. If you look at the RG stats page does it still mention 6rd? Out of curiosity, which market are you in and which gateways are you seeing this change?

Sorry for the noise but normal support channels are not understanding IPv6
is broken, they just see IPv4 works.

Can anyone contact me or maybe provide a contact or pass this along to
someone in ATT who can deal with broken IPv6 routing for Uverse Res/Small
Biz IPv6 blocks that are being assigned.

For Example one block that was delegated via DHCP-DP is
2600:1700:8250:8390::/60 tracing to it from anywhere outside of AT&T gets a
"Destination net unreachable".

Note this seems to have going on since atleast the 31st but likely longer,
that's just when the gateway was updated to DHCP-PD from 6rd. 3 Examples of
traces below.

Note even 2001:506:7825:839::1 seems to issues with connectivity but it
might not matter as much as that just the "WAN" of the gateway.
