With IPv6, there's of course still manual configuration, but PPP is out because it can't negotiate IPv6 addresses.

I've heard you say this a few times now, but I am also told by various people in various places that they have succeeded in getting IPv6 addresses assigned using PPPoE. Colour me confused.

Does RFC 2472 have some practical limitations in the real world that I haven't noticed? Or is the problem a simple matter of implementation?
