I think customer-premise routers become full-function routers in the IPv6 model. All of the ISP/MSOs I've spoken with and all of the strawperson ISP architectures I've seen anticipate customers having a CPE router at the edge of the customer network.
The WKA approach works - as long as the propagation/routing boundary is configured to allow routing of DNS messages to/from the WKA across the customer/provider boundary between the CPE router and the ISP/MSO edge router. DHCPv6 also works - especially nicely in tandem with DHCPv6 PD, which seems to be popular as the means for provisioning the CPE router. - Ralph On Tue, 22 Jun 2004, Ted Lemon wrote: > On Jun 22, 2004, at 10:40 AM, Pekka Savola wrote: > > But I think what you're saying in the second paragraph is slightly > > different.
