Hi nanog,
We are little behind in our IPv6 rollout are pushing to make big strides by=
the end of Q2. We have all of our core network and primary infrastructure=
dual-stack enabled at this point and our next step will be to move to dual=
-stack on our CMTSs. For those retail operators that have enabled dual-sta=
ck can you comment on behavior that you observed from customer CPE equipmen=
t after flipping the switch? Are most CPE devices generally not IPv6 capab=
le in the first place? For those that are capable are they usually still c=
onfigured with IPv6 disabled, requiring the customer to enable it? For tho=
se CPE that are capable and enabled, is there a common configuration such a=
s full blown DHCPv6 with PD?
For those that are responding I am primarily concerned about customer route=
rs. I have followed the many discussions about Android phones that don't p=
erform DHCPv6, and I am really concerned about these kind of issues as thes=
e devices basically won't be seen at the edge of the customer's network.
If you have something else that you think is noteworthy, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Graham Johnston
