@MCFH: Static routes are references to networks that can be reached in a way other than via the default gateway. In Linux, for example, you can do this with the relatively self-explanatory command

ip -6 route add 2001:db8:abcd::/48 via 2001:db8:1234:5678::99

Of course, on a consumer router, something like this is configured in the GUI and not via a CLI command. There is already a corresponding option on the IB for IPv4 (Expert Mode->Network->Static Routes), but not yet for IPv6. Static IPv6 routes on a router with a potentially dynamic 6th prefix don’t make much sense either. Maybe IPv6@swisscom or someone from the IB team can give us some insight into future planning?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Ist neu, oder? Gratuliere👌

@PowerMac - thanks for understanding that 🙂 - and saw IPv6 routing fine without setting up any static route from that first /64. I agree that you cannot add one manually at this time.

@SamuelD - good news. If and when you need help with beta testing, we’re happy to help

The point is that in the official Sony forums (regarding the PlayStation) this problem has recently been officially pointed out when there are Internet problems (latency problems, “lags”, input delays and the like) that are not related to the can be eliminated using usual troubleshooting.

That’s the only reason I became aware of it myself.

It’s quite possible that this is also the case in the Xbox forums (I’m not active there) and that’s why there will be more questions about it in the future.

We looked at it internally several times. There are simply no advantages currently over the current solution. This is a multi-year project that is already underway. Every system that is exchanged in the E2E chain is also native IPv6 ready. It’s the routers. The new BNGs are too. Data center connections are also being renewed piece by piece. The services (TV, voice, etc.), monitoring tools, management servers, etc, etc, etc. There are also security concerns, especially in the mobile sector, that must first be addressed.

Unfortunately, a very big deal. But we are constantly working on it and at some point it will be finished. That’s where I stand. Maybe something has changed in the last few weeks. But don’t think so.

“There are no advantages”
Should be “There are no advantages” Should be “There are no advantages for SwissCom” - completely ignoring the customer’s needs like any good monopoly….

It’s also worrying how everything has been scheduled so far and now it’s just a matter of “at some point it’ll be finished”.

Instead of beating around the bush, you could just admit that it’s no longer a priority at the moment… That would at least have been honest.
