Hi,

My situation was different all 9 directory authorities acknowledge my relay as running, but initially only 3 granted me the stable flag.
Vasilis suggested an experiment where I stopped announcing ipv6-support a while ago. As a follow up - after I had obtained the stable flag from all 9 directory authorities - Vasilis suggested that I
re-
enabled ipv6 capability.
I read the thread, I think what's happened is that your ipv6 connection is intermittently flaky, not down all the time. That means dirauths with v6
note
many more failures than those without it and that causes them to have a
much
worse availability history for you.
Cheers Sebastian
Hi Sebastian,
You are probably right, but I assume, the relay would lose cached consensus - for a period - in case of lost ipv6 connectivity?
Nothing in the log however indicates that. Neither before I disabled ipv6 nor after I re-enabled it. For other purposes, I ping6 Google every 5 minutes and send a mail to myself in case of no reply. 2 occasions during the last 2 month on March 6th (for 50 minutes) and April 10th (for 1 hour). The later one happened while my ipv6 capability was unannounced (Vasilis' suggestion).
Anyway the traffic is flowing nicely now - as it did even before the stable flag was granted. I suggest we consider the problem solved.
Regards Ole
