Dynamic IPv6 Address over PPPOE

Hi Everyone,

I've been eagerly awaiting this beta to test native IPv6 over PPPOE using dynamic addressing.

I can confirm it is working but I wanted to check that it is working as intended.

I have a static /56 range allocated by my ISP. I've manually allocated a /64 from this to my local LAN and I'm experimenting with DHCPv6 and prefix advertisements from my Astaro box to distribute it. This all works as you'd expect.

I can get this range allocated dynamically over my PPPOE session but I haven't experimented with that yet as there doesn't seem much point.

On the PPPOE link I get a dynamic address allocated via DHCPv6. I have my WAN interface set as the IPv6 default gateway and it connects fine.

The interface details show only link local addresses but in the IPv6 log I see;

2012:03:07-14:18:59 heracles ipv6_watchdog[3695]: Start of monitoring interface ppp0 (7)
2012:03:07-14:18:59 heracles ipv6_watchdog[3695]: Installing default route via fe80::224:***x:***x:***x (7)
2012:03:07-14:18:59 heracles ipv6_watchdog[3695]: Installing address 2001:44b8:10:518:***x:***x:***x:***x/64 (7)

I've tested IPv6 connectivity to the internet and it all looks fine. Hooray!

So is this working as it should?
