Web portals work fine, and honestly, it's not like you need to switch subnets, either. PPPoE/A implementations work great, as they are already designed to utilize radius backends to quickly alter static/dynamic on a session. For bridging setups, you have a variety of implementations and it becomes messier. Cisco, while maintaining RBE did away with the concept of proxy-nd, and didn't provide a mechanism for dynamically allocating the prefixes to the unnumbered interface. If you use dslam level controls, you'll most likely being using DHCPv6 TA addressing with PD on top of it, which works well. Most of which can support quick static/dynamic capabilities as it does with v4.
Thanks. I will have a deeper look in the standards. This sounds like a viable solution to me. Albeit, I wonder if there is a drive for the big ISPs to implement such features.
Potentially it's a value add that small ISPs can use to distinguish their basic packet transport services from their larger competitors.
