I'm not entirely sure if you understand what he asks for.

When you do "vzctl set CTID --ipadd 2001:1234:1234:1234/64 --save", OpenVZ 
creates a route only for the network address (2001:1234:1234:1234::), but not 
for the entire /64 subnet which is unexpected behaviour already.

Inside the container, OpenVZ automatically adds the network address 
(2001:1234:1234:1234::) to venet0.

2001:1234:1234:1234:: is now reachable from the outside

If you add 2001:1234:1234:1234::1 as an address inside the container, it should 
send a NDP packet to update neighbours about the new IPv6 address (including 
the router) but what we see instead is 2001:1234:1234:1234::1 staying 
unreachable.

OpenVZ in this case treats the 2001:1234:1234:1234::/64 subnet as a single 
address (which is 2001:1234:1234:1234::) instead of the subnet we requested and 
throws away all subnet information.


How we expect it to work instead:

"vzctl set CTID --ipadd 2001:1234:1234:1234::/64 --save" should add an entire 
/64 route and allow the container to use the entire /64 subnet as outgoing IPv6 
address

vzctl should not by default add an IPv6 address from this subnet OR add 
2001:1234:1234:1234:: by default to the container.

Inside the container we should now be able to add 2001:1234:1234:1234::1 as 
another IPv6 address to venet0 and OpenVZ kernel/the hardware node should 
forward NDP packets for updating neighbours including routers with the new IPv6 
address.

The addresses 2001:1234:1234:1234:: and 2001:1234:1234:1234::1 should now be 
reachable from outside.


I hope that I explained this enough in detail so everyone reading should get an 
idea of what we mean.
