So once my ISP (Verizon FiOS) supports IPv6 native, how is this going to work?
Will they give me a single IPv6 address, or a network range that I can use internally without NAT?
Verizon is supposedly rolling IPv6 out to DHCP customers "Q42012".
Thanks,

there is much debate on NANOG about how to provision ipv6 CPE and end users. Some providers are going with a default /96(which is the size of the entire current internet pool) some are talking about a /48 even..[:)] considering the ipv6 pool is sooooo huge most likely you'll get a range assigned to you..keep in mind these are dynamic so if you use a large amount of those inside your lan once they change you'll be renumbering all over again. The disruptive aprt is providers are trying to figure out how to make money off hte assignments...with ipv4 being limited they can charge 4-15/month for that static....with ipv6 that induces a HUUUUUge amdin burden(trying to manage a single ip out of millions or more is a chore0...so the days of dynamic assignments at least on ipv6 may be numbered..so to speak.
