[AusNOG] My Predictions for the ISP Industry

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

Yep.

My Dad, for instance, has a Billion 7401VGPR3 - put v6 code on it back some time ago and it works just fine.   
If you don't know how well it works, then get one and find an ISP who does do native IPv6 and try it out.

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?
