 ## cidr notation, I'm drawing a blank on what that is

what about the lower addresses? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4_address_blocks

and this natting is in the US?

Can anyone point to anyone that’s actually doing this? It sounds as complex as rolling out IPV6 :-p

CPE device, what is that?

we’re using it???… but this means that it’s enabled past my router?!?

How can I figure out if my CPE is using v6?

so you’re given IPv6 IPs from the service provider???

how is your internal router passing that information???

but if you’re old printer doesn’t support IPv6… then it will only accept IPv4 packets

##does Ed run a firewall at the perimeter? if so, which one?
