Re: IPv6 beta Yes, thats what I meant. I'm hoping that both devices will still maintain their IPv4 adddresses, because if it doesn't work, I need to be able to set the modem back to a router... |

I replaced my D-Link DIR-825 running OpenWrt with the D-Link DIR-835. The DIR-835 works with the factory firmware and provides an IPv6 firewall. No more OpenWrt hassles for me. |

I have a Tp-Link 2543nd flashed with OpenWRT. Works great on IPV6, but I haven't bothered doing 6hcp *lol* I just do static address and have fun with it. I also contrib to the wiki for this model on the openwrt site.
»wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr2543nd
great router, not bad on price. Get this model not the 743 though, you'll thank me. |

That implies there's an option other than static addressing right now...  |

Anybody had any success (or otherwise know of a problem with) using the ST516 modem in bridge mode with an Apple Airport Extreme router?
I'm done my research and am thinking this will be my dual-stack solution. |

There is. You take the range they gave you and dole out your own ip6 dhcp leases. easy. |

Or as the vast majority will use... use RA. |

Either you misunderstood me or I misunderstood you. What I was trying to say is that there isn't (edit: a currently implemented) way to automatically assign IPv6 ranges to CPE not that there isn't a way to automatically assign IPv6 addresses to clients behind IPv6-capable routers.
I'm sure most people use SLAAC over DHCPv6 for address assignment in their LAN (as brad  pointed out), but that still has to be manually configured. That's the point I was trying to make. |

Yes, TSI having DHCPv6-PD would allow for routers to be easily configured with minimal configuration by the user and it is relevant whether the user has a statically allocated /56 or one is allocated dynamically. |

| Glad we finally sorted that
I'm sure there are unique challenges in automatically assigning IPv6 ranges; I don't know that DHCP/v6 is particularly well suited to PPP* connections, but I don't know if there's a way to do block assignment through IPv6CP (reading RFC 5072 ATM). I'd assume that doing block assignment through IPv6CP would be preferred and easier to implement (piggyback off the existing IPCP configs), but I won't speak for Gabe. |

IPv6CP is only involved with the link-local address and that's it; unlike IPv4 it's not even involved for the global unicast address which is the same as an IPv4 address. Address configuration is quite different with IPv4 vs IPv6 with PPP. If you take a look at Appendix A in that RFC you'll see that you have to use either RA or DHCPv6 to assign a global unicast address to the PPP/PPPoE interface and the only mechanism for propagating a prefix is DHCPv6-PD. |

Getting ready to change my DSL modem over to bridge mode....whats the VPI/VCI setting supposed to be? |

If you have the modem combo set to handle the public IP, the same VPI/VCI settings that you are using - I would think.

For ON/QC VPI/VCI = 0/35
