Actually Comcast is willing to give out more than a /64 to a home, they're waiting for the CPE to catch up. I've had some very good discussions with John Brzozowski on the subject. While we don't see completely eye-to-eye on the matter, I think that Comcast is trying to do reasonably well by their customers in the IPv6 addressing realm. I expect that they will eventually come around to giving out /48s, but, for now they seem to feel they need to see the use case develop before they deploy it. It's not ideal in my opinion, but, it's much better than it could be. FWIW, Comcast is transporting the /48 from my home nicely, even if they don't know they're doing it. Owen
