Re: Dynamic IPv6 said by cramer:IPv6 has no concept of NAT, so they cannot do that. And RIRs will look upon those that try with scorn. (eg. hint at taking away their allocations, and refuse to give them any more.) A single /64 is the smallest they could provide without breaking things.
Comcast is testing IPv6 to a limited market right now, and they are only providing 1 IPv6 address to begin with (/128), and only allowing customers within that market if they are using a preferred OS(Win 7/OSX 10.7) attached directly to the cable modem(no routers). |

Yes, they've made it pretty clear they'll be doing testing in multiple phases. The first phase is directly connected systems; as in no router. They have a preferred OS list because of the need for a DHCPv6 client and the listed OS's are the only OS's they "support" and which have DHCPv6 support. Any other OS with a DHCPv6 client not on the list would work fine as well. The second phase will be for users with a router and one or more systems behind it. |
