| | 4 | IPv6 to ADSL at Orange does not use native IPv6 routing (unlike fiber) but an encapsulation of an IPv6 tunnel on IPv4 and it seems that this limits the size of the "MTU" in TCP as well as in UDP or raw IP (ICMP/ping) and that this also poses a problem for HTTPS. |
| | 5 | IPv6 over ADSL at Orange has no interest, the IPv6 tunnel provider at Orange is very poorly performing (and overloaded on its servers not suitable for broadband usage by many users). It can be deactivated in the Orange box settings (although we know that it will be difficult to connect to Asian mobiles that are only reachable in IPv6, possibly through a tunnel). |
| | 6 | But I don't see any problems on the Orange fiber (and I don't see any problems on the Asian IPv6 mobiles...) and I don't see any problems even to watch a Youtube video in native IPv6 (it's possible that Google itself can provide the IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel if necessary or that it can detect MTU problems too short for some operators). |
| | 7 | Orange has never been clear about its IPv6 deployment which is very late in the market, and not supported correctly on a number of its obsolete firmware ADSL boxes or on a number of its DSLAMs (or regional traffic collectors) not up to date to make native IPv6 tunnelless via IPv4 (or because there are compatibility issues with other operators that Orange ensures. |
| | 8 | You can detect MTU problems with some tunnel providers, and other IPv6 conenctivity defects with ICMP-based tools, or on several IPv6 test sites (including http://ipv6-test.com/ which tells you if you really have a native IPv6 connection). |

| | 10 | I confirm I have no problem with IPv6 with my Orange Fiber access. |
