I am currently using PPPoE but I think my provider will force everybody to NAT as they already declared. They also recommend and provide instructions how to disable IPv6 on clients' operating systems and say they do not provide support for those who did not completely remove IPv6 support from their OS.
It's time for you to find a new ISP.
There is no ISP here who provides IPv6. They all simply conduct the same policy: once one decides to invent new technology or change prices, others follow.They just coordinate their efforts. Thus similar prices and services.
NAT is broken in a number of ways. For example, it breaks some protocols and makes it impossible for a user to reach their network from elsewhere. Also, it's possible for an ISP to overload NAT, as each IP address has a limited number of ports that can be remapped. As far as refusing to provide support, if IPv6 isn't disabled, that tells me your ISP is incompetent.
They also say IPv6 in addition to corrupting routing table and creating lags in browsers, also floods the network so any user who uses IPv6 not only created problems for themselves but also for all other users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
