Airtel is rolling out IPv6 on their wired broadband services

[Chip]

@T-1000 there is a small overhead to NATting which v6 addresses dont have. You may find it snappier also because most traffic is on the v4 gateway not v6. That said, dont waste your time getting an IPv6..it'll come whenever they roll it out fully. Solution to NAT is a static IPv4..@ 199 +GST a month.

@JSMFPPJK Which router are you using? Set prefix delegation manually to /64...and in LAN configuration set RA to track the Airtel WAN connection. For RA use Assisted mode or equivalent in your router. Do remember the config method varies from router model to model. So please check your router's manual.
