I don't know what most ISPs are doing. I couldn't get IPv6 via |
| 11 |
Comcast (or whatever they're called this week) working with OpenWRT |
| 12 |
(probably my fault, and I didn't really need it). So I never figured |
| 13 |
out if the IPv6 address I was getting was static or not. |

There is DHPCv6 (I've implemented it), but I have no idea if anybody |
| 16 |
actually uses it. Even if they are using DHCPv6, they can be using it |
| 17 |
to hand out static addresses. |

The assumption always seemed to be that switching to IPv6 meant the |
| 22 |
end of NAT and the end of dynamic addresses. |
