AT&T installed my fiber recently, and they don't even know how IPv6 works
I specifically asked AT&T to assure me that I would get a static IPv6 in
addition to a static IPv4 address on my new AT&T Business Fiber. This is
necessary so that failover works properly at my DNS provider with IPv6
addresses. The installer tech didn't even know what I was talking about. The
tier one tech I talked to on the phone didn't know what I was talking about. I
told him all I need is the IPv6 address and prefix length, and he couldn't even
give me that. It then occurred to me to just see whether my backup server has
been assigned an IPv6 address and prefix length by the AT&T system, and it turns
out that it has. As expected, there is a /64 prefix length, but there is also a
/128 prefix length. I can use the /64 as the public IPv6 address of my backup
server, which I just configured. Finally, IPv6 failover works properly! Thanks
AT&T!

Reply #18507615 Good on you, man. I tried
haranguing both of my ISPs about v6 ages ago and just ended up with nobody Of
Clue. Then I ended up using a Hurricane Electric tunnel haha.
Eventually someone somewhere must have gotten around to it. Sorta Just Works
now, though latency even to the first v6 hop is noticeably worse than on v4.
