IPv6 configuration error ?

Hello, I have a problem with IPv6, and I wonder if a configuration issue could be the reason.
Here is the configuration:

* little_finger: connected to a router through WiFi
   wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1280
        inet 192.168.0.6  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fe80::216:44ff:fef1:d307  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        inet6 2a02:2788:44:116c:216:44ff:fef1:d307  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        ether 00:16:44:f1:d3:07  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

* naboo: Connected to a cable ethernet switch
   enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.8  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 2a02:2788:44:116c:12c3:7bff:fe4f:34dd  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 fe80::12c3:7bff:fe4f:34dd  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 10:c3:7b:4f:34:dd  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

* gallifrey: Connected to the same cable ethernet switch
   eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.18  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fe80::ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        inet6 2a02:2788:44:116c:ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        ether b8:27:eb:20:3e:d5  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

ping and ssh with IPv4 addresses works fine.
ping6 doesn't: it looks like naboo and gallifrey cannot really communicate.

On little_finger:
    ping6 2a02:2788:44:116c:12c3:7bff:fe4f:34dd     #naboo
    ping6 -I wlan0 fe80::12c3:7bff:fe4f:34dd        #naboo
    ping6 2a02:2788:44:116c:ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5     #gallifrey
    ping6 -I wlan0 fe80::ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5        #gallifrey

They all work.


On naboo:
    ping6 2a02:2788:44:116c:216:44ff:fef1:d307      #little_finger
    ping6 -I enp3s0 fe80::216:44ff:fef1:d307        #little_finger
    ping6 -I enp3s0 fe80::ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5       #gallifrey

They all work but

    ping6 2a02:2788:44:116c:ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5     #gallifrey
won't work:

    --- 2a02:2788:44:116c:ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5 ping statistics ---
    96 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 95008ms

according to wireshark, a ping request and a ping echo are seen, which is even weirder.

The same behavior applies on gallifrey: no problem contacting little_finger but contacting naboo only works on the permanent address with the interface given in the arguments.

So pinging is possible but I can't ssh (on naboo, ssh fe80::ba27:ebff:fe20:3ed5 (to gallifrey) gives an invalid argument).


Note that the switch in use is a TP-Link TL-SF1005D (a really small switch, with no configuration)
Also note that the 3 computers are running archlinux (little_finger and naboo are x86_64 and gallifrey is a raspberry 2 (armv7))

Do you have any thought on that ?

Re: IPv6 configuration error ?

After checking, packets are being transfered in the direction gallifrey -> naboo but not naboo -> gallifrey.

Also note that there is no problem when using windows on naboo or when using the archlinux installation livecd...
