of running RIPng. The thought of letting Belkin routers (if you can call them that) into the routing table scares me no end.
I think that indeed looks scary. I wouldn't be too concerned about the Belkin routers. How many SP routers are really designed to deal with mass numbers of RIP adjacencies? RIPng sounds like a plan to deploy 2 or 3 IPv6 end networks, not really better than static manual configuration, and with significant disadvantages. So I would suggest static manual configuration of the port on routers facing the CPE, no RIPng. If there are routes to be exchanged with a downstream user, use a proper EGP as one would the IPv4. Use a CPE of a type that scripts can be written to configure, for large scale deployments. If there is an inexpensive CPE with an implementation of DHCPv6 PD that works without issues, I would love to hear about who makes it, and what the device is...
Is this way easier than I think it is? Did somebody already write the book that I can't find?
