I am currently sage certified but I dont have a vm or pc for ping or tracert,  all I have is my cisco router doing the tunnel back,  so my question is why cant we use that for ping and traceroute?  I know it works but need another machine but dont have the time to build one and use it.  Here is an example of a tracert

IPV6_Tun.Eacompsolutions.net#$ipv6 2A02:920:212E:1::213
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to ipv6friday.org (2A02:920:212E:1::213)

The parser is somewhat simplistic at times.  You might try changing:

I can definitely tell you that if an entry uses the alternate IPv4 derived address formatting, it is rejected.  I.e. if that address were written 2001:7F8:D:FE::0.0.2.71 it would definitely be rejected, even though it is perfectly valid and equivalent.

In any case, I'll try targetting that address tomorrow.  (I've already done my points for today.  :-) )

Well, I tried it, and I removed the duplicate address I was suggesting, and it worked.  The other major differences were:
  • my addresses were in lower case
  • I had one more hop before reaching ve422.core1.nyc4.he.net
  • My traceroute doesn't assume the target's address gets the target's name, so the last line was:
    Quotejuniper.webway.se (2a02:920:212e:1::213)  131.990 ms  132.554 ms  126.184 ms
Frankly, I would not have thought any of these would cause problems, but it gives me more things to test.   ;)

Edit: correct list formatting

Edit: Upper case didn't make it fail.  Nor did lack of hostnames.

Edit: It appears that the line before the first trace line is important.  It appears that it having a hostname they can resolve is not.
