Delegated prefix changed unexpectedly from *:f0e0:: to *:f020::
For the past couple of years, I've been delegated a /59 subnet with a prefix ending in f0e0. If I requested more prefixes, I would get the next each in the sequence f0c0, f0a0, f080, f060, and then f040. I've never been delegated a prefix ending in f020, even when I tried in testing. My notes on that, I posted here: http://setupnotes.gozoinks.com/comcast-IPv6-prefix-exhaustion
A few weeks ago, toward the end of February I think but I'm not sure, my prefix changed to one ending in f020, and IPv6 no longer works.
I would love to know what has changed between last July, when I couldn't get an f020 prefix if I tried, and today, when f020 is all I can get. Failing that, I'd love some insight that might help me understand how to fix my IPv6.

Will do.
Since my first post, I blocked releasing my DHCP lease in dhcp6c, and then I changed my firewall's DUID. Now I've been delegated a prefix ending in f040, which suggests the modem is now delegating prefixes in ascending order instead of descending order, which is interesting; however, the modem still does not seem to be routing data from the *:f040 subnet.
I will PM you details.

I checked my modem firewall logs, and I see the same thing…
FW.IPv6 INPUT drop , 364 Attempts, 2020/3/22 22:00:55 Firewall Blocked
FW.IPv6 FORWARD drop , 15108 Attempts, 2020/3/22 22:00:55 Firewall Blocked
I do have Firewall disabled for IPv6 in the modem.
