I had to log in to my FiOS provided CPE (Verizon Quantum Gateway) and enable IPv6.  It’s off by default. 

 

This is what I see in Reston, VA:

My Netgear router/WAP is set to autodetect IPv6 and sees it as passthrough.  IPv4 is double NAT, but I have the v4 interface on the Netgear set to a static IP and the Verizon router is configured to treat that address as a DMZ and passes all traffic directly to it (theoretically unmolested).  I used to have it set to bridge mode for that port so it was only a single NAT, but every time the VZ supplied router rebooted, I’d have to manually go back and fix it, so I compromised and set as a DMZ instead.

 

In the interest of not putting my house directly on the internet without protection, I do have all v6 traffic using the FiOS router’s firewall since I’m not convinced that the Netgear is properly firewalling that traffic due to the mode.

 

Thanks,

Looks like FIOS customers may be getting ipv6 deployed toward them, finally:

ifconfig snippet from local machine:
        inet6 2600:4040:2001:2200:73d2:6bcc:1e6b:43a1  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 2600:4040:2001:2200:e87:bf36:b6cb:6ce1  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>

 

ping attempt:

  64 bytes from bh-in-f106.1e100.net (2607:f8b0:4004:c09::6a): icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=8.71 ms

 

8ms from mclean, va to ashburn, va isn't wondrous, but at least it's ipv6 (and marginally faster than ipv4)

 

Congrats to the 701 folk for deploying more widely!

  (note: I don't know exactly when this started, nor how wide it really is, but progress here is welcomed by myself at least :) )
