Mobile IPv6

Device support

As the modem establishes an IP(v4) PDP context with the network, to do IPv6 the modem would need to support it (or use a full PPP context).

Devices which do/don't support an IPv6 PDP type (there are AT commands to query the modem's capabilities):

Network support

I (met) have tried connecting with a K4505 and an A&A L2TP-handover SIM using a PPP context, but it doesn't work. An IP context gives you a CONNECT response immediately, with a PPP context it sits there for a couple of seconds before returning NO CARRIER.

I see the same results with a Vodafone contract data SIM.
