HE IPv6 routing issues?

[AndrewButterworth]

My setup is dual-stack with IPv6 preferred on the Windows clients.  My tunnel terminates on the Paris server.
I noticed delays to some websites recently and it appears that I don't have connectivity to some networks.
For example one of the traceroute asterisk's out for most of the path:

Traceroute to google works OK.

Is there a routing issue in the HE network?

[tomkep]

That's not a problem with the routing. traceroute like tools usually send UDP packets to DNS port and if it is filitered - there won't be any response. With regular traceroute on Linux I see the same issue (and I am NOT on HE.NET). With traceroute using ICMPv6 probes it finishes on 14th hop.

I am not sure if Windows tracert can send ICMPv6 probes. If yes - give it a try. If not - look for better tool.
