Cary, IL | Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 CPE/cable modem should pass thru IPv6 traffic just fine, it's the router/firewall that needs dual stack support during this transition period. hope to be able to switch to native dual-stack mode soon.
linksys/netgear/dlink/2wire (consumer) routers don't do IPv6 with normal code that i'm aware of. but newer corporate cisco routers and firewalls support dual-stack mode, as well as some of the open source openwrt type projects. |

Most of the new linksys routers actually act establish a 6to4 tunnel and pass it through for v6 connectivity.
If they see native v6, they'll pass it.
That said, since there is no NAT in v6, someone needs to release a v4 router that has a SPI firewall/ACL that supports v6. But it can be done easily and it's not a technical issue. I'm sure we'll see some stuff pretty soon. |

Unless you're using a low-end router with only 2 MB of flash, DD-WRT supports IPv6. |

kudos:2 | Not really. The WRT54GL and other such routers are quite popular on places like Newegg. The 54GL is the most reviewed router there. |

I would encourage you to attempt to find a WRT54GL in a brick and mortar where most consumers purchase their routers. I've looked. They aren't there. |

kudos:2 | WRT160Ns are out there though. They can do DD-WRT.
Then again, IPv6 is at this point something that's enthusiast-class anyhow. |

kudos:2 | Not sure about my school...we might be IPv6 now, but we've got a class B or close to it, so no hurry.
Since everything's firewalled I personally think the school could survive on a /20, but what do I know... |
