Comcast Says Its IPv6 Home Networking Pilot Market Launch Begins

Source: Comcast Voices Blog

Comcast announced that after significant planning, testing, deployment, and other preparation, it has achieved another critical milestone in its transition to IPv6, by starting the production rollout of support for IPv6 customer home networking! Comcast said it is the first ISP in North America that has launched support for native IPv6 for both standalone computers and customer home networking. This follows our November 2011 production deployment for standalone computers. So whether a customer in a pilot market connects their home gateway device (a.k.a. router) directly to a cable modem or connects a single PC to their cable modem, they now can use IPv6 if their equipment supports IPv6.

Just as with its standalone computer support for IPv6, customer home networking is also native dual stack. This means that eligible customers will be provisioned with IPv6 addresses in addition to their IPv4 address. Comcast says it maintains its commitment to the goal of a seamless transition to IPv6 and strongly believe that native dual stack is the best approach for our customers.

Comcast said that this deployment will occur first in its existing pilot market areas, which initially includes parts of Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. In the coming months one of its biggest objectives is continuing to expand this deployment to more and more of our network around the U.S.
