Most hotels etc, are perfectly happy doing NAT.

We manage 65+ hotels in Canada and the topic of IPv6 for guest internet connectivity has never been brought up, except 
by me. It's not a discussion our vendors or the hotel brands have opened either.

I working on a large airport WiFi deployment right now. IPv6 is

less than
10,000 ephemeral users, we don't expect users to demand IPv6 until 
most mobile devices and apps come ready to use IPv6 by default.

It’s my understanding that many captive portals have trouble with

traffic and this is a blocker for places.

I’m wondering what people who deploy captive portals are doing with
these things?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wkumari-dhc-capport

seems to be trying to document the method to signal to clients how 
to
authenticate.  I was having horrible luck with Boingo yesterday at RDU 
airport with their captive portal and deauthenticating me so just went 
to cellular data, so wondering if IPv4 doesn’t work well what works for IPv6.

Thanks,
