For everyone getting into the details about how all of this should work please look at RFC7084: Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7084

It describes in detail what a home router needs to be doing to make all of this work seamlessly.

Things work so well that half the world has working IPv6 already.

Openwrt pretty much implements all of this out of the box.

If you are struggling with IPv6 I recommend reading up on where it is at today and figuring out how whatever makes your network special can be done using IPv6 with no fuss.

Personally I have moved several times changing ISPs in the process and my IPv6 setup involving multiple LANs on my home network has just continued to work. IPv6 renumbering events just work seamlessly and completely automatically.

Historically the only practical hold up to IPv6 adoption has been the ISPs not rolling it out to their customers.

And I know the homenet WG has concluded but I found RFC 7368 IPv6 Home Networking Architecture Principles[1] interesting as well, including its discussion of reachability and RFC 6092 Recommended Simple Security Capabilities in Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for Providing Residential IPv6 Internet Service.[2] IPv6 still occasionally seem more flaky than IPv4 with some set ups though.

And corporate networks: in Google's stats you'll see IPv6 usage jumps on weekends as people do stuff not using their work computer.

Yep, that's where I am. Frontier FTTH, IPv4 only. Because....I have no idea why. Because Frontier sucks, basically? They have at least started their rollout:

...but it's going to be slow going. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather cut off my fingers than go back to Comcast, but at least Comcast gave me a /56.
