Default IPv6 + PF + packet loss
Hi,

I have been trying to use IPv6, but it seems that somehow PF is giving me packet loss.

This is my IPv6 part of my pf.conf

Code:
ext_if="2001:1bxx:1xx:xxxx::x"

block in all

##IPV6

# all ping request allowed out
pass out on $ext_if inet6 proto icmp6 all icmp6-type echoreq keep state

pass out on $ext_if inet6 proto icmp6 all icmp6-type {neighbradv, neighbrsol}

pass in on $ext_if inet6 proto icmp6 all icmp6-type {neighbradv, neighbrsol}
And I see this packet loss:

Code:
ipv6_test:~# ping6 ipv6.google.com

^C
--- ipv6.l.google.com ping6 statistics ---
74 packets transmitted, 44 packets received, 40.5% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 52.152/633.241/3969.212/1117.673 ms
As you can see that the same "lag" comes up, in certain periods.

I have configured also these options for ipv6 in my rc.conf

Code:
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interface="re0"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:1bxx:1xx:xxxx::x"
Am I missing some settings for ipv6 in my pf.conf?

Are you also experiencing the packet loss with pf(4) switched off?

Yes, that would be my suggestion too. It looks like the packet loss and the large latencies are caused outside of your network.

You can always try a traceroute6(8) to find out where the delay happens. Note the -I option.
