IPv6 support: intentional omission, or did you hit a wall? #2

Description

@cjaliaga

First off, thanks for this. The half-bridge approach looks exactly like what I need for a UDM SE sitting behind a 10 Gbps PPPoE line from a Spanish ISP.

One thing I could not find in the README or EXAMPLE.md: there is no mention of IPv6 anywhere. The script dials PPPoE, strips the IPv4 from ppp0 and hands it downstream via DHCP, but nothing about DHCPv6-PD or passing a delegated prefix to the downstream gateway.

I am curious which of these it is:

  1. You do not have or need IPv6 on your line, so it never came up.
  2. You tried it and ran into real limitations (prefix delegation through the half-bridge, RA handling, the downstream gateway not picking it up cleanly, etc.).
  3. It is just a matter of time and it is on the list.

I am still in the planning stage and have not bought the hardware yet, so I would rather know upfront whether I should expect to lose IPv6, plan to solve it myself, or whether it works fine and simply is not documented.

Once I have the gear up and running I am happy to test this and report back if that is useful.
