In my routers
/etc/sysctl.d/router.conf I have
| Code: | # A very trendy value for a binary flag!
net.ipv6.conf.ppp0.accept_ra = 2 |
so that I get router advertisements from my ISP.
Normally, routers use a static setup but that's not possible the way my ISP works.
Everything is static but my ISP wants to use the dynamic set up tools to assign my static setup.

My ISP works in a similarly strange manner. I wonder why they are like this… |

leyvi,
At the start, when I joined the ISPs IPv6 trial, it was all static.
That meant that I got all the rubbish on my /48 for me to drop.
Having moved to the dynamic set up, my ISP knows which prefixes from my /48 are in use, and drops the rest at its boundary.
That avoids routing things to me that will get thrown away, which is a good thing for everyones bandwidth.
