Re: [IPv6] Deployment of IPv6 Begins that may be a very good point but I was simply saying that a 4x4 modem is just as good as an 8x4 modem when it is being used in a limited fashion. For example a 4x4 modem supports speeds of 160Mbps and a 8x4 modem supports 300Mbps. If the internet package a customer is using never exceeds 105Mbps (or slower) then both would give the same performance. The only advantage I would think could be useful would be in areas of extremely high congestion where the extra 4 channels would come in handy. |

kudos:5 | So which is it: argue the benefits of an 8 x 4 modem vs a 4 x 4 modem or wait for technology to use an 8 X 8 modem. You are switching gears here. Please review your previous posts before proceeding. |

1 edit | I never switched gears, I was being friendly when I was talking about an 8x8 modem in my original post, a modem configuration which as you've seen here »8 downstream 8 upstream modem?, has already been discussed in detail.
In any case this has become totally off topic from IPv6 so either take it to that thread or drop it  |

So when will they have all their markets converted to IPv6? According to the speed tests, we're still on IPv4 here in Mendocino County in NW CA. |

| Same here in Jersey. I think this thread stalled out in getting any official response. |

I think that since this thread began with the statement "I am happy to announce", it was intended to be just that, an announcement, not an interactive discussion thread.

| Damn. If thats true then someone needs to create one now. The old ones aged out. Who else is going to hold Comcast's feet to the fire if not the customers? |

Would love an update on the rollout.
I've been seeing RAs on my router for a little while now.

In my case I am using a *nix based router so I can just run tcpdump on the WAN interface.
tcpdump -i em0 -n -vv ip6
I am running DHCPv6 as well on the WAN int. Nothing being handed out to me yet but I wonder if that's because my Zoom modem isn't on their IPv6 list (maybe soon? finger crossed!). |

| ah ok cool. yeah good luck on getting the modem on the list. I've never heard of a *nix router before. Is it like in the form factor of a router or is it like something running on a desktop? |

It's short for Unix. |

#1 Is that command vaild on DD-WRT or Tomato Firmware?
#2 Do I have to use Telnet (OR SSH) OR can I use the web based UI - to issue that command?
Thanks.

They're all Unix related, so that's why I said Unix.  |

I'm not sure if either of those include tcpdump on the default installation. However, it would be pretty easy to find a package or compile it yourself.

If you're running dd-wrt or tomato, you'll have to use ssh or telnet. |

kudos:8 | Tomato doesn't have TCPDUMP on the default install, but it does have a GUI execute box for nix commands like TCPDUMP if installed. |

If you use an interface like that you will want to wrap tcpdump in a bash script that forks the proc, and then kills it after a user defined time period.
Otherwise it'll just hang as the program won't end. Eg. like top. |
