[opensuse-factory] Slow start and unstable connection with IPv6
I generated a rather standard openSUSE 13.1 B1 system on my computer with one Ethernet interface. So the I have a traditional ifup network configuration. Nothing extra configured except some extra rules in SuSEfirewall2 to allow DHCPV6 packages and mdns(5353). I have a modem which offers native IPv6 providing a prefix. After booting it takes about 10 minutes after which the interface gets 2 global IPv6 addresses, the random one and the one derived from the MAC address of the interface. The first one is used for outside connections. If I do a ifdown and ifup on that interface, it takes less than one minute to get the two global addresses. After having the global addresses I do a ping6 to my router, in both cases using the global address and link local address of the router, then I observe packet loss. 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. On my openSUSE 12.3 system on the same computer I use NetworkManager and I do NOT see this behavior. Did not try it yet on 13.1. Anyone seeing the same problem?
