In a happier note, if you tether a device via hotspot on an IOS6 iPad, the clients get native IPv6. Strangely, they get addresses out of the same /64 as the iPad's LTE interface. Anyone know how that is working? I would have thought they would use prefix-delegation, and there would be a separate routed /64.
Prefix delegation isn't generally available in mobile networks yet, that'll come in the next few years. It's probably using ND proxy or similar technique.
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6459> is a good starting point for further study, more specifically <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6459#section-5.3> to answer your above question.
