[AusNOG] ipv6, TID ADSL and SRX working

[Michael Dale]

I don’t understand the requirement to switch the local v4 DHCP server to a different configuration method before you can add IPv6 on the ADSL interface (?!)

I also think this new DHCP/IPv6 setup has some memory leaks as X46 has crashed a bit on my home SRX210H due to running out of ram (and I’m not running anything special).

Give Juniper another couple of years and it may work :|

Apparently Verizon(?)'s deployment doesn't have this issue and having IA-NA configured doesn't cause the massive re-transmit storm.
