Hi,
Any plans for a new version of the BTest.exe tool with IPv6 support?
no, it is not planned. where is the difference between useless traffic ipv4 or ipv6?
Hi,
Okay then I know 
No at all basically… the reason why I was looking for the support is that my IPv4 traffic on a Windows XP machine is great but the ipv6 is maxed out @ 6mbit 
. I was interested if it would apply on UDP as well. And also if I would get a different value on the btest for IPv6 then from the FTP transfers.
It’s not the network since my Ubuntu is working flawlessly…
Anyhow it would help the troubleshooting. But iperf works also 
better do not use WindowsXP and IPv6. AFAIK XP got experimental and not full implementation of IPv6 protocol.Vista and 7 have quite decent implementation. So the problem you have might be connected more to problems within the OS rather than network.
Hi,
Most likely so… Thats why a good test tool like btest.exe works so well in finding errors
I agree that it’s not the network rather the OS, Since my Ubuntu works excellent.
However the Win7 Enterprise implementation I use on my company laptop does not work so well with RouterOS IPv6 (Have not tried other vendors at the moment).
Somehow it does not take the default route and/or the DNS settings (Have not troubleshoot this enough to say for sure). But this sounds more how Windows and RouterOS works together. I have friends experiencing the same thing. So it is not limited to the specific laptop in hand.
If we set static ip on dns and gateway it works excellent.
Anyhow thats a different matter for a different thread…
Thanks Janisk for your answer!
you can try to set up PPPoE client on windows. That should work. Since windows only support DHCPv6 for auto configuration
Sounds like the reason why it’s not working. Will have a look at the PPPoE, but static works fine as well
Do you have any news on then the DHCPv6 implementation will be done? I might have misunderstood the DHCPv6 perhaps but I want it to work similar to the IPv4 implementation. Just to delegate prefix is a step on the way but when a client can get a address from a scope is when see it usable
Or is this completely wrong to assume?
Have a nice day!
for OSes that does not support stateless auto-configuration you can easily use pppoe. For the rest of them (for example Linux) auto configuration should be sufficient. This post is done via IPv6 and auto-configuration of the host.
Hi Janisk,
That is true on small amounts of computer and for me at home. But take the example of our student network. 350-450 computers that I have no control over. And I don’t think that I can rely on the students to configure this by them selves.
The question still stands… How far ahead is the DHCPv6 implementation to be similar to DHCPv4? or will it never be that similar? Will it be done this year or next?
I don’t have the complete picture here regarding how DHCPv6 works so perhaps I’m asking for the impossible?
Anyhow thanks for the answers Janisk!
windows is laagging behind as usual. RA problem was discovered early on that you cannot get all the required details for host to work and DNS advertisement was added. In Windows it is still missing. So your options at the moment are PPPoE or static configuration.
Hi Janisk,
Okay those are my current options I understand. But in our government environment that will probably not be an option. 
Perhaps we are talking of the same thing here or misunderstand each other.
Sorry about that,
My question is when it will be able to use DHCPv6 in Mikrotik with Windows 7 or any other OS for that matter to get the same function as with the DHCPv4 in Mikrotik.
In other words get an IPv6 address + Options from a IPv6 pool. And the logging ability that comes with it
This is for traceability if someone does something criminal or likewise. Then it is logged who got witch address and so on.
Thanks for your patience
Have a nice day!
