Just as a side node on the provisioning-part:
We are currently testing DOCSIS Cablemodems and CM with
integrated Routers. This hopefully brings us soon the ability to
detect and disable IPv6 for known devices and software versions which
break IPv6 connectivity. I would then turn it on by default for devices
which are known to be working.

I *guess* that this could be an approach for TR069 enabled DSL devices,
just checking the software version, and setting a RADIUS Flag for
enabling IPCP6. Anyone having such checks implemented yet?

Kind regards,
Dominik
