[AusNOG] My Predictions for the ISP Industry

I did some research into this to v6-ify an ISP earlier in the year and YMMV
depending on IOS with the actual behaviour of your routers compared to this
document.  This is another supporting case for starting the implementation
yourself as early as possible because if you were planning on following the
guides, you may find yourself spending a LOT of time manually testing which
parts of the doc don't follow the behaviour of your gear.

I experienced a number of seriously faulty things, including the -dhcpv6
suffix usernames never working (also, what a pain) and a whole host of
RADIUS attributes that get ignored, or don't work the way they should.

My solution:
http://blog.ioshints.info/2011/03/framed-ipv6-prefix-used-as-delegated.html

YMMV.  Start early!
