>>Description:
> Problem system has IP addresses assigned via DHCP.  IPv4 works as expected, but IPv6 connections to hosts outside the LAN hang.  The IPv6 address is assigned as expected from DHCP and the routing table looks fine as well.  The test system is in a QEMU KVM and I've verified that other operating systems (Debian and Gentoo Linux, NetBSD 7.1) don't have the IPv6 routing problem.  The issue only occurs when the guest OS is NetBSD-current or NetBSD-8.

Can you show me
- netstat -nr -f inet6
- ifconfig
on both NetBSD 7.1 and NetBSD 8?
