Yeah, don't get me wrong. In most of our network, our CPE is bridging
only. Customers wanted wireless and a few of the telco's were adamant
about including it in their CPE (so the customer didn't have to go buy a
wireless router from walmart). 90% or more of those wireless CPEs are
still fully bridged (even the wireless is bridged to the wan).
I've tried my hardest to keep things where IPv6 from our side will just
work. What a customer buys is their concern, but we still have the
danger of gear which just won't be interoperable with our setup.
