What does Cisco shitty metro switches have to do with anything?

Haaaaaay we have the best shitty metro-e boxes around. We're awesome.

That's one of the reasons to look at active ethernet over gpon.  There is
much more of a chance to do v6 on that gear, especially cisco's Metro
ethernet switches.

I can't believe I'm going to beat Owen to this point, but considering you
a building a brand new infrastructure, I'd hope you'd support your
service
provider's stakeholders if they want to do IPv6.  To do so securely,
you'll
want your neutral layer 2 infrastrcuture to at least support RA-guard and
DHCPv6 shield.  You might also want/need DHCPv6 PD snooping, MLD
snooping.
 We have found VERY disappointing support for these features in this type
of gear.
