Hi Mark,<div><br></div><div>Does that Netcomm and other gear in that same leage actually support v6 properly? Does it run a v6 DNS masquerade? Will RA correctly assign v6 DNS to hosts? Is DHCP6 supported? Simply routing v6 isn't enough, they need to be able to operate 100% v6 only, and I'd be surprised if it does that. Billions and a few others maybe, anyone got more accurate details on excactly what is still incomplete with CPE for home/soho users?</div>

</div>And low end boxes.<br>
<br>
Billion 740x series: Dual stack out of the box, software upgrade<br>
available for owners of equipment shipped as v4-only, provided they<br>
have enough RAM.<br>
<br>
Netcomm NB6plus4W: An ADSL2+ home router with WiFi available for<br>
$80 retail, can't get much lower-end than this. IPv6 for about the<br>
last year.<br>
<br>
And for the geeks, of course, anything that runs OpenWRT has<br>
supported dual-stack since forever.<br>
<br>
"Lack of support in low-end CPE" is no longer an excuse for not doing<br>
it.<br>
<br>
If your low-end CPE vendor doesn't do it, then "lack of support in<br>
low-end CPE" is an excellent reason to change vendors to one that<br>
does.<br>
