Miquel, Almost no home users have an IPv6 connection currently and the ones that do are the extreme outliers. IPv6 gear (depending on the deployment method) will hopefully handle this well, but no I haven't seen any that did a default drop all. In truth most of the CPE I've seen don't even run v6 well even if their marketing claims otherwise. However, v6 is an entirely different generation of gear that will _hopefully_ get things right since they will _hopefully_ avoid NAT. Having said that so far the smoothest (from an end user perspective) way of moving forward is often 4 to 6 in the home and I expect that to be dirt common for very long time in the future.

Few home users have a stateful firewall configured and AFAIK none of the consumer models come with a good default set of rules much less a drop all unknown. The v6 capable CPEs for home users I've seen so far all include stateful firewalling with inbound default deny.
(including the one I'm using right now)
Is your experience with such CPEs any different ?
Mike.
