Re: way to go comcast!

You do have local IPs they are called Link local IPs They only work in the same broadcast domain though so a tad different then the LAN IPs of IPv4, since you can not route them at all.

AFAIK there is no way to have a dynamic subnet behind a router that would be assigned from the provider, It would have to be a static subnet, Altough from you ISP's address pool.

but if you use a switch only (or a transparent firewall) all the local client could receive IPs via DHCPv6 or auto-configuration.

Again depend on how they implement it.

I posted something a few minutes ago. There is a standardized mechanism that providers can leverage to delegate IPv6 prefixes to subscribers/users. RFC3633 defines that mechanism in case you are interested. This mechanism does in fact leverage DHCPv6 (RFC3315) to delegate IPv6 prefixes using the providers DHCPv6 infrastructure.

Ah did not know that was part on DHCPv6, I stand corrected.

Thanks for the info.
