Nothing in the log however indicates that. Neither before I disabled ipv6 nor after I re-enabled it. For other purposes, I ping6 Google every 5 minutes and send a mail to myself in case of no reply. 2 occasions during the last 2 month on March 6th (for 50 minutes) and April 10th (for 1 hour). The later one happened while my ipv6 capability was unannounced (Vasilis' suggestion). Anyway the traffic is flowing nicely now - as it did even before the stable flag was granted. I suggest we consider the problem solved. Regards Ole
