IPv6 prefix announced, but nothing inside is responding yet. AS44831 announces 2 IPv6 prefix(es) to the global routing table - that’s the part that BGP and our route-server scrape confirm. But our active discovery (curated hostnames, holder-derived domains, authoritative DNS NS/SOA/MX, certificate-transparency hostnames, RIPE Atlas, RDAP, IPv6 Hitlist) found no ICMPv6-responsive host inside the prefix on either vantage, and a yarrp pass against random addresses inside the prefix produced zero in-prefix hops (no router on the path through the AS replied with Time-Exceeded for any random target). That combination usually means the announcement is configured but the addresses inside aren’t in active use yet. The BGP route is there; the operational deployment is still ahead.

Random-IP probe (yarrp) into the AS' prefixes

We probed 30 arbitrary IPv6 address(es) inside AS44831's announced prefix(es). No router inside the prefix responded. The deepest visible hop was 2001:b01:2400:c9::1 at hop 24 - that router does not answer ICMPv6 Echo. This is not in AS44831's announced prefix; operationally it's the AS-edge / peering interface (often on an IXP peering address or an upstream's /127 link). The traceroute boundary is the AS edge: ICMPv6 Time-Exceeded responses from anything inside this AS are filtered.

To match the corresponding ICMPv6 packet on your side (host firewall, AS edge, or transit tap), look for our PTBs around the timestamps above:

sudo tcpdump -i any -n -e 'icmp6 and ip6[40] = 2 and (src host 2607:fae0:a000::42 or src host 2a00:8642:42::75 or src host 2a12:d8c0:105a:9001::a154)'

If you see our PTBs arriving but the destination's TCP/Echo flow does not shrink, the drop is in the destination kernel (cause 3 below). If you don't see them at all, drop is upstream of you (cause 2). If you only see them from one of our two source IPs, the drop is path-asymmetric — one transit on the asymmetric route is filtering, the other is not.
