Hi Jeroen
I ran into the same issue. I had just rebooted our router and was testing it when our SIXXS tunnel didn't seem to come up fast enough.
More details about this "did not come up fast enough"?
When I reboot the router, I have no SIXXs tunnel for many minutes after the underlying pppoe session comes up. I was testing IPv6 connectivity with a ping6 to google.
Did you check a traceroute? Or more importantly that you could reach the other side of the tunnel? Google is a few hops away at minimum.
When I had no success I tried pointing a browser to a v6 destination - google obviously didn't work, then took swisscom's front page which didn't work either.
Which just heavily indicates that your connectivity is broken, one way or another (might just be a firewall).
I realized that maybe the tunnel was to blame. So I took it down and started it again.
What do you mean with "starting it again"?
Then finally when ping6 to google worked, I tried to refresh my browser's page still pointing at swisscom . That's when I started to curse but soon decided to go our own webservers and to sixxs where I was welcomed with IPv6.
I will have to look into the interfaces' configuration - maybe this weekend. Perhaps the problem is that the sixxs tunnel interface is trying to start too soon although it's linked to the ppp-interface and is supposed to wait for it coming up before it activated itself. I shall try again after introducing a delay before the tunnel tries to start. I'll let you know if I still have troubles.
Seems you have a strange setup, more technical details would be very useful.
Greets, Jeroen
