[SASAG] Comcast & IPV6 + Dlink router

[Bill Levering]

Hmm… seems like maybe it’s a Comcast issue. 

The comcast6.net website hasn’t been updated in over a year, and the deployment FAQ is from 2012.

This is listed as my gateways on the router:

Gateway	73.225.80.1, fe80::223:ebff:fe77:92e2 

and this shows up in the ipv6 routing table on the router:
::/0                                        fe80::223:ebff:fe77:92e2                UGDA  1024   27       0 eth1    
::/0                                        fe80::c612:f5ff:feed:d932               UGDA  1024   661       0 bdg1    

So, my guess, is the fe80 address is coming from comcast.

I considered it unlikely I'd be able to get through to someone who actually understood my problem and could fix it, so I didn't bother calling support.
