   	What do you mean by "disconnect" here?  Can you run something   
   	like "ip addr" command on the router before and after   
   	"disconnect" and show the results (with your IPv6 address   
   	removed for privacy if necessary) here?

   	Can you try SLAAC /without/ DHCPv6?  May also make sense to   
   	disable the 6to4 fallback.   
      
   	The problem with 6to4 is that successful datagram delivery tends   
   	to depend on the parties that you'd be surprised to find involved.

   	Yep, just like that.

   	I don't think I can readily comment on the "traceroute" issue, alas.

   	It's possible to request IPv6 network allocation and forwarding   
   	(tunneling) from a third party via http://tunnelbroker.net/   
   	(if you have a static and publicly-routable IPv4 address) or   
   	http://sixxs.net/.  Indeed, you can use that instead of your   
   	ISP-provided IPv6 at the cost of higher latency.
