>...consumer equipment is not ready for IPv6

Is that true? I had assumed that all network equipment could do IPv6, but the functionality was not exposed by default.

Just because the equipment can do it, doesn't mean it's ready. I was trying to get my home network setup for IPv6, but the DSL modem would reboot if a fragmented packet was sent, so that's not really ready. The replacement modem didn't reboot, but had severe induced latency, so I went in a different direction and still don't have IPv6.
