Comcast Residential IPv6 NO-NAT Pilot

Comcast has been conducting IPv6 technical trials in our production network for more than a year, and weve been working diligently on IPv6 deployment for over 6 years. After so many years of challenging preparatory work, significant technology investment, internal skills development, and close collaboration with our technology partners, I am incredibly pleased to announce that weve achieved another critical milestone in our transition to IPv6 — we have started the pilot market deployment of IPv6 to customers in selected markets!

Andrews & Arnold – affordable IPv6 router just around the corner

Andrews & Arnold (AAISP) has always been at the coal face of broadband, and is leading the charge towards ensuring IPv6 does not get ignored. The free Billion 7800N they provide with new connections is IPv6 capable, but costs the company around £120 to retail.

It appears though that the price of IPv6 capable routers is dropping, with Adrian Kennard hinting that they are close to sourcing a new IPv6 capable router, that is reasonably priced, but still comes with the goodies like DSL and Ethernet WAN ports.

Comcast pushes IPv6 forward

But its going to be slow going, and for good reasons. Despite all IPv6 promises, there is still much, much testing to do before its ready for prime time.

Today Comcast revealed that it has started an IPv6 pilot market deployment as first step leading to nationwide rollout next year. Broadband providers like Comcast havent rushed the switch to IPv6 despite an increasing shortage of IPv4 network addresses because of lacking support, ranging from operating systems to network switches and other devices. Then there are security questions that only real-time use can answer.

This first phase will support certain types of directly connected CPE, where a computer is connected directly to a cable modem, John Brzozowski, Comcast distinguished engineer & chief architect for IPv6, explains. This will depend upon the cable modem (a subset of DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems, which will expand over time) and will also depend upon the operating system (only Windows 7, Windows Vista, Mac OS X 10.7 / Lion), which must support stateful DHCPv63. Comcasts list of cable modems is 74, but only three support IPv6.
