Hyperoptic: IPv6 and Out-of-Order Packets

- Hyperoptic IPv6 connectivity issues due to upstream router not responding to Router Solicitation (RS) packets.
- Workaround involves changing the WAN interface MAC address to trigger an unsolicited Router Advertisement (RA).
- Manual addition of default IPv6 gateway address as an alternative solution.
- Hyperoptic assigns only prefix delegations (ia_pd) and not non-temporary addresses (ia_na).
- Out-of-order packets issue linked to WAN MAC addresses starting with '4' or '6'.
- Solution for out-of-order packets: changing the WAN MAC address to one not starting with '4' or '6'.
