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?
