Hi All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Andrew has authorised me to go into some more detail on the setup from a high level perspective
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Our BRAS runs DHCPv6</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We advertise managed and other config flags to the CPE to get its IP’s via DHCPv6 and we have a static /48 delegation to customers - This is because:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) /48’s keeps things simpler and in line with our wider network routing practices for v6</div>
<div class="">2) Static because we work around potential issues of end devices getting different delegations after reconnect which could cause v6 to be intermittent or non operational for up to 30 minutes after a CPE reconnects depending on the CPE neighbour
discovery configurations</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">On the CPE side:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) They receive the managed and other config flags via RA then go and get DHCPv6 from BRAS</div>
<div class="">2) They get a /128 from a common /64 pool for the CPE wan point to point</div>
<div class="">3) They receive the delegated prefix for the LAN side also</div>
<div class="">4) CPE automatically assigns (generally the first one) a /64 from the prefix to the LAN side for SLAAC also advertising our V6 DNS services</div>
<div class="">5) Just in case devices don’t support getting DNS via RA (ie windows) we set the other configuration flag to advise clients to get also DNS via DHCPv6 which we also configure on the CPE to provide our V6 DNS servers</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The CPE config was pre-deployed and basically inactive until we activated the BRAS side IPv6 for the wider network</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

<div class="">Hi<br class="">
<br class="">
Congrats!<br class="">
<br class="">
Curious to know how its being done though, if home router does not<br class="">
support ipv6, how IPv6 being used by end device?<br class="">

Yesterday, Liquid Telecom turned on IPv6 to all its Kenyan home users<br class="">
using GPON and our FTTH / FTTB products. This was done in such a way that<br class="">
the customers didn't need to configure anything themselves to enable it, it<br class="">
was just there J<br class="">

I would like to congratulate you and Liquid Telecom as it may be the first<br class="">
ISP in Africa turning on IPv6 for home users.<br class="">
