   Hello group.   
      
   I now have IPv6 connection to the net. But I'm only able   
   to get a proper stable WAN/IPv6 connection via '6to4'.   
   I tried 'SLAAC/DHCPv6' and got a connect, but it got   
   a "disconnect" after approx. 20 min. And my router (a   
   Trendnet TEW-824DRU) seems to have an auto-fallback to   
   '6to4'.   
      
    From the router-status, I see it uses '2001:4600:4:1fff::'   
   as the DNSv6-server. Located in Oslo/Norway.   
      
   Here is the strange part in this '6to4' tunneling scheme.   
   A 'c:\Windows\system32\tracert.exe -6 2001:4600:4:1fff::' shows   
   these long hops:   
      
   Tracing route to 2001:4600:4:1fff:: over a maximum of 30 hops

   ---------   
      
   Using data from GeoIP and IP2Location data-bases, I figured the   
   location of hop 3 is in "United States (Fremont/California)" !!   
      
   Hop 4 is 'Holland, Amsterdam'.   
   Hop 5 and higher are all 'Norway, Oslo'.   
      
   And what's up with all the nodes at hop 16, 18,..30?   
   My Windows tracert program gave up after 30 hops.   
      
   Who can I blame this strangeness on? Windows-10, my ISP or   
   my router/PC settings?   
      
   I briefly read something about 'IPv6 tunnel brokering'. Would   
   that be a fix for this case?
