IAB Statement on IPv6

Here in Japan, the largest consumer fiber wholesale network (NTT) "supports" IPv6, but you need a separate, $100 router that talks PPPoEv6 since none of the common consumer routers (including the one they provision you with) seem to support it.

I also haven't been able to get PPPoEv6 working in macOS.

Anything that can run OpenWRT should be able to do PPPoE with IPv6.

Just explaining why there's poor IPv6 adoption. Anyone can get IPv6 though a tunnel if they really want it...

I focussed on your suggestion that it had to cost $100.

If people don't need IPv6, then why bother. My impression is that the content providers don't care about IPv6, so I assume they have plenty of IPv4 space.

Some large consumer ISP are short on IPv4 address, but in that case, they will will make sure their customers get IPv6 capable CPEs.

Anything else is a very nice hobby.
