I have seen plenty of information on IPv6 from a internal network standpoint. I have seen very little with respect to how a ISP is supposed to handle routing to residential consumer networks. I have seen suggestions of running RIPng. The thought of letting Belkin routers (if you can call them that) into the routing table scares me no end.
Is this way easier than I think it is? Did somebody already write the book that I can't find? DHCPv6-PD (prefix delegation) with the relay installing static routes is probably the most straightforward way. Letting home CPE participate in routing does indeed seem like bad idea; I haven't heard that seriously suggested before.
-Ben I had found the documentation on DHCPv6-PD but didn't see the mechanism for getting the assigned prefixes into the router.
RADIUS. When your session comes up you get, in our trial (http://ipv6.internode.on.net) a /64 assigned to your PPP interface. You can choose to send an RA and assigned your router an IP in this or not. Otherwise your router sends a DHCPv6 PD request to our BRAS. Our BRAS knows who you are and does a radius request. Our RADIUS server sends back either a pool name or a static /60 (for the trial) which then gets routed to your interface. You then assign internally as required. MMC
