Most of the time the round trip delay is around 0.3 ms, however on regular intervals I get exactly 1000 ms, but also packets are lost. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I also captured traffic after a ifdown and ifup 2 seconds after the ifup. The first capture revealed that the global address comes when a Router Advertisement has been received, which is about 10 minutes after booting the system. Shortly after the ifup I see a Router Solicitation which triggers a Router Advertisement, which makes getting the global addresses possible. I do see a DHCPv6 solicit shortly after booting, however the reply indicates a status "in stateless mode". So the problem seems to be that right after booting the system does send a Router Solicitation and simply waits for the regular Router Advertisement which the router sends regularly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So I am lost here. A workaround is to use NetworkManager. However NetworkManager does not setup the interface to use the random global IPv6 address, which is recommended. It even shows disabled in the applet, but it does get a global IPv6 address derived from the MAC address. In case this is not solved in the final release, I would recommend to mention this in the Release Notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I now realize that the problem was caused by an intermediate system between the OS 13.1 B1 system and the router. This system should act as an Ethernet switch. After a reboot of that intermediate system in the beginning of November things went back to normal. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
