It brings a tear to my eye that it takes:

just to get IPv6 to work correctly.
Yea, that's TOTALLY reasonable. Pretty much works out of the box on Mikrotik RouterOS if you are secure enough in your geek cred to admit to running such stuff here in this august forum.

FYI - DHCP-PD is now working better in RouterOS 6.5 Prefix length hints are now available (CLI) only. /ipv6 dhcp-client add add-default-route=yes interface=<wan interface> pool-name=dhcp-pd \ prefix-hint=::/60 In the case of Comcast (and anecdotally ISC DHCP) - You'll either need to wait out the the lease time (4 days) or ask Comcast to nicely clear out your /64 lease manually. Release/renew doesn't release your current DHCP lease. I was getting A /64 and /60 (/64 had a preference of 255) before Comcast removed the /64 lease manually.
