 hello six'ers

 maybe you know, why AIX 4.3 doesn't reply to my traceroute6?
# tracepath zemrsn.edu.eu.org
 1?: [LOCALHOST]      pmtu 1500
 1:  195.22.177.70     60ms 
 2?: 194.176.60.202   reached
     Resume: pmtu 1500 hops 2 back 2 

# tracepath6 zemrsn.edu.eu.org
 1?: [LOCALHOST]                      pmtu 1480
 1:  3ffe:b00:c18::3b                  70ms 
 2:  no reply
 3:  no reply..and so on..

# ping -c 1 zemrsn.edu.eu.org
PING zemrsn.edu.eu.org (194.176.60.202) from 195.22.177.68 : 56 data bytes

# ping6 -c 1 zemrsn.edu.eu.org

 maybe AIX doesn't reply to inet6 traceroute, because 4.3 version still
can't forward inet6 address family packets?
