www.netcologne.de/ipv6 says : one /64 and additionally one /48

www.netcologne.de/ipv6 says: static only if you pay for it.

my FritzBox shows:

verbunden seit 29.10.2017, 18:54 Uhr, NetCologne / NetAachen VDSL-Anschluss,
IPv6-Adresse: 2001:4dd0:af16:WWWW:MMMM:MMMM:MMMM:MMMM, Gültigkeit: 2591748/604548s,
IPv6-Präfix: 2001:4dd5:KKKK::/48, Gültigkeit: 77543/77543s

And after initiating a re-connect:

verbunden seit 30.10.2017, 10:52 Uhr, NetCologne / NetAachen VDSL-Anschluss,
IPv6-Adresse: 2001:4dd0:af16:VVVV:MMMM:MMMM:MMMM:MMMM, Gültigkeit: 2591904/604704s,
IPv6-Präfix: 2001:4dd5:LLLL::/48, Gültigkeit: 89873/89873s

where "MMMM:MMMM:MMMM:MMMM" is equal after re-connect.

The values of WWWW, KKKK and LLLL are all different.

so, yes I am pretty sure that my customer-based LAN prefix is not a static assignment.

:-(

After continuing research I found the dhcpv6 relay functionality: page 17 section 4.2 in http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/doc/dibbler-user.pdf
This looks promising. But I have still no clue how to inform the isp-router (fritzbox) that my connected linux-gateway acts as router for 2001:4dd5:LLLL::/48

My linux-gateway gets the following IPv6 address: 2001:4dd5:LLLL:0:NNNN:NNNN:NNNN:NNNN/64 (scope global mngtmpaddr dynamic)

so the isp-router already use only a part (/64) of the /48 Range as link local network.

>Otherwise just roll your own, should be pretty easy when using RA. When the network range changes you deprecate the old one (lifetime 0) and send the new one.

Yea, I hoped not need to develop my own script/daemon, because there is some ICMPv6 mechanism I just do not know right now.

But still, if I go for developing my own solution, is there an ICMPv6 message that I can use to say: "Hey guys on this side, I know I am not your default gateway, but if you have packages for 2001:4dd5:LLLL::/48 you need to use me as hop."
