Comcast has released source-code for the next-generation of IPv6 enabled home gateway device (a.k.a. home router). This IPv6 solution is based on the  OpenWrt  platform.
While it is very important that home gateway devices support native IPv6, particularly native dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously), devices may still need to handle situations where tunnel-based IPv6 transition technology is used. Thus, Comcast extensions running on OpenWrt support cases where either IPv6 is tunneled over IPv4 using 6RD, or IPv4 is tunneled over IPv6 using Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite). This combined solution is used in the implementations of Comcast's 6RD IPv6 trial.

Is this used somewhere else in the world ?

I am running backfire on an Alixbox now and would like to set up ipv6 again.

Locally, I already have OpenWRT SVN trunk source. I wonder if they have a patch for OpenWRT SVn trunk that I can get to test.

I am just curious. Does a Comcast customer have to apply for this IPV6 test with an IPV6 capable router or will it automatically be connected through the Comcast IPV6 network?

I downloaded a copy of the source and when I executed make menuconfig, the process got stuck as shown below (even after removing the tmp directory). Has anyone managed to successfully run a make menuconfig and compiled?
