As you're well aware since your name is in the acknowledgements, there's =

the CMTS and the CM, what the router does is kind of beside the point =
(unless we've progressed to wanting to do it on the wireless side too).

You mean to the southbound ethernet when running as a router instead of =
to the northbound ethernet while running as a bridge? No idea. That's =
not my normal use case.

Beats me. No Comcast handy to test with.
I *can* tell you that a freshly factory reset Airport Express 802.11n =
(2nd Generation) aka A1392 - the currently for sale $99 one - does =
pretty much exactly what you would hope when plugged into a freshly =
rebooted cablemodem on Another Pretty Darned Big MSO. That is to say, =
it gets a PD /64 and you're off to the races with native IPv6 on the =
wireless side. No warranties expressed or implied, but it seems to do =
what it says on the tin.
A similar test with a freshly factory reset Airport Extreme 802.11n (3rd =
Generation) aka A1301 is disappointing; default configuration is IPv6 =
link local only and although there is a knob to put it into =
"native/automatic" IPv6 configuration it doesn't work as advertised. =
But hey, it was discontinued five and a half years ago at this point so =
what do you want? I figured that a test with an even older example I =
have sitting around in the junk box (A1143) would be similarly =
unsatisfying.
I'd really like to try these native IPv6 tests with my Verizon FIOS at =
home, but I think I already know the outcome...
