/sbin/route add -inet6 2001:608:4:a053::/64 2001:608:4:a053::1:0 There is no reason to do this. Configuring an address automatically adds a route covering that prefix. It should not have worked (gotten a route exists error), but either it overwrote or the cloning route was missing for some reason (which is the thing to fix). 2001:608:4:a000::/56 2001:608:4:a053::1 UGS 0 0 - tap0 2001:608:4:a053::/64 2001:608:4:a053::1:0 UGS 1 0 - tap0 This looks wrong, but is probably due to the previous issues. Where did that /56 come from? When doing netstat, do netstat -rn -f inet6 and then filter out what you are sure is not relevant, rather than assuming grepping for tap0 will show you everything you should look at. When you configure the address on tap0, it should get a cloning route, which will have flags UC. This should be in generic ethernet code. Note that this apparently happened correctly for v4.
