How is v6 being delivered without a stateful firewall while v4 is secured with one? FWIW, in the decade we have been providing dual-stack by default, I have made a bit of a hobby out of testing every CPE and SOHO router that I get may hands on in my PON lab. I've never once seen a device that has v6 support and didn't have a stateful v6 firewall on by default (if v6 was "on"). By whom and how is this being delivered? --TimH
