The point is that you can offer IPv6 to a lot of people using various instatntiations of 100.64.0.0/10 but using globally unique IPv6 addresses providing them full true internet access without NAT. Yes, 6rd is a stopgap, but 6rd stopgap is better than multi-natted IPv4 only. Owen On Jun 20, 2014, at 07:22 , Gabriel Blanchard <gabe@teksavvy.com> wrote:
6rd is in my opinion a band-aid solution, I don't see the point of offering IPv6 if it requires IPv4. native IPv6 should be offered where possible.
We offer native IPv6 to all our DSL customers but only on an opt-in basis, we're although unfortunately unable to offer IPv6 over Cable since we still depend on a certain incumbent...

Videotron (AS5769) is offering 6RD (RFC5969) to all residential customers, if their gear supports it. (DHCP option 212)
(But our MGMT still calls it beta for now.)

Canada is way behind, just 0.4% deployment.
Any Canadian ISP folk in here want to shine a light on this dearth of residential IPv6 connectivity?
Is there any progress being made on this front?
