Airtel is rolling out IPv6 on their wired broadband services

[Aakash Malhotra]

what affect does mtu has on a connection? like what will happen if its too low or too high?

 

[pranav sharma]

does ipv6 picking on its own or modifications still needed on user end

So some are getting just 1 IP (/128) but others are getting /64 and even /32?

I guess everyone is getting /64 only. /128 is device level ip address. Not sure who got /32.
Why would airtel giveaway that many ip address to each customer.

Can someone confirm if ipv6 assignments are happening on their copper VDSL as well? Currently using their 777vr1 which is bridged to a Mikrotik. Router can't seem to find any address at all.

Edit: Could it be that I need to input a static ipv6 for I'm having static ipv4 and not on their PPPoE discovery?

i don't know what is going through the heads of these guys, first they put us behind ipv4-cgnat (Delhi-NCR)
from then on i was getting /64 address in my router so my device were able to receive an ipv6 address, but since past 2 days, weirdly, i am getting a /128 address in my router and as a result, none of my devices are getting an ipv6 address.

i highly doubt they will give anyone a /32 address when they aren't giving even /48 (or /56) address. since /32 address blocks are assigned by IANA to ISPs themselves...

The device level ip is a /128 but the ipv6 pd is /64. Sometimes I get only the /128 device ip then I have to restart to get the /64 pd working again.

Getting ipv4 only in airtel Nokia router as settings are disabled.
Using bridge mode with our own router to provision ipv6.
