[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-133: No Volunteer Services on Behalf of Unaffiliated Address Blocks - revised

[Frank Bulk]

While the factory load may not support it, there is downloadable software
that has pretty complete IPv6 support (including DHCPv6-PD) and privately
available that's even more complete .

The DIR-655 support an IPv6 firewall, but the 615 and 825 currently do not.
Look at ARIN' IPv6 wiki for more detail, as there are different hardware
models with varying levels of capabilities.

The factory load on the DIR-615/655/825 series does not support
dhcpv6-pd from what I have read, nor does it support ANY firewalling
for IPv6.  That is the primary difference
in functionality from the Comcast build for the 160NL that is
on Sourceforge.  Note that there is not enough space on the 4MB
flash routers (like the DIR-615) to run dhcpv6-pd & ipv6tables (needed
for the SPI stuff for IPv6)
