| One modem one address If comcast still allows only one ip address for each residential service, what is the point of having IPv6? The end user would not benefit at all. And, with a computer attached to the network directly with IPv6 w/o a router, it is opening up the window for attacking from Internet. |

| Comcast is planning on giving each customer a /56. That's 256 64-bit subnets.
You'll still be able to use a router/firewall, although it likely won't do NAT on IPv6. Hopefully Linksys/Netgear/etc. will get off their asses and produce some good IPv6-compatible home gateways within the next couple years though. They're probably waiting for ISPs to make the first move. |

Are you going to have a modem for each computer then? You'll need to connect those computers to the internet some how and something will have to direct the packets where they need to go if you have many devices and only one interface to the internet. |
