I find it encouraging how many content providers already support
IPv6.
I'm gonna snag that up right now, actually. Sounds like fun. [30
seconds go by]
I dig it. When I hit my own website I get a nice big 6/little 6
display to the right of the address bar. I'll make sure to keep an eye
on it while browsing. Thanks for the link! :)
I am not going to hold my breath either, but I think we will
eventually see the train coming on steam. It is unavoidable.
It's definitely unavoidable at some point. But the wait could continue
to be quite hefty. I hope not, though.
It appears I was wrong. The Ubee modem/router DOES have IPv6
access to its web interface. But... not from a Win Xp system. On
my laptop running Win 7, I can access the web interface via the
link local address,
Via the router's link local address, correct?
Did you have to go to the direct link? For example, when I hit "192.168.1.1" it goes to "http://192.168.1.1/Main_Login.asp" or
something like that, so did you use "[ipv6 address]/Main_Login.asp"?
or did the redirection work properly for you?
Also, did you have to use brackets around the IPv6 address? I remember this being an issue at one point, but some software seems to not
require them.
Not all of the bigger ones and not in all countries. But some of
the big ones ARE moving. In the US, Comcast, Verizon and T-Mobile
ARE moving:
Sure they are moving, but at turtle speed. :)

some time now. The only way to avoid DS-Lite is to use an older
CPE, which are not offered any more.
Perhaps they have even less IPv4 left?
You may be the first DS-Lite node. ;-)

VPN or VLAN?
Is there a difference between how SixXS operated compared to he.net?
Meaning, it seems as though he.net makes money on this whole ordeal.
They are in fact a DNS provider as well as a hosting facility.
Did SixXS do it this way? If not, and it was always a free service
with no income, I can see why the guy got bored with it.
If the market fails we have to solve the problem by regulation.
Not for data. Based on the latest developments roaming costs for data could even increase.
The mobile providers got good lobbyists and the
politcians forgot about their promises and the EU citizens.

I do not think so.
The same company has made their CPE config on xDSL IPv6 ready, but
never activated it on xDSL.
The Telco incumbent does not offer IPv6 for residential at all ...
(they made a IPv6 config 4 years ago, but did not roll it out until
now.

Not if I can evade it ;)

back.

VLANs or tunnels. But the issue mentioned first, it being on the far
end of a USB bus means it will have issues with high traffic rates, which makes it somewhat unsuitable for being a router on modern networks.
What kind of "high traffic rates" and how "modern" of a network are we talking here? If you're on the business end of things, sure maybe so.
But for a simple household network with capped internet speeds?

First tests did not show any issues.
But it was never rolled out excpet a small trial group, so it may be possible that some issues lurked there.

Yes.
The cable the router is owned by the Telco.
Same with xDSL, but there you get the user/pass to use a different
CPE. (For vectoring enabled VDSL2 lines you need to use the
whitelisted CPE).
In both cases you can use a router behind the CPE.
(Bridge mode in cable and "Singleuser" in xDSL)

I live in .se, so the comes-with-the-housing internet is 100/100,
which for many practical purposes doesn't feel capped at all, and is likely to overwhelm an RPi router.
Especially if you want to do filtering, nat, shaping or other things
to the traffic while passing through and not just bilndly passing
packets over from one port to the next.

I wrote the configuration for the CPE, and was part of the testing

In your case I definitely agree. However, here in the states there are still 3mb/s / 384k/s speed packages available to people that don't want
to pay higher prices for more speed. I would love to have 100/100, but
at the moment the highest my ISP goes is 50/5, so that's what I have.
Agreed there too. However for a hobbiest with slower internet, it's at least possible. I'm not going to try it, though. :)
AHA! But then if you were part of the beta team, were you not
told why it was discontinued?
Nope.
It was an internal test ... it never was rolled out to real customers. Also all employees got IPv6 training, and than nothing followed ...

That sentence doesn't really make sense.Maybe not, but I know what I was saying. My current router has an
incoming ethernet port
and 4 outgoing ethernet ports.
The RasPi only has one ethernet port.
