Yes, we're buying devices from a vendor that uses OpenWrt as base for
their operating system. We're using this one currently:

We remotely manage it using Netconf/YANG from our NMS so we can do
software upgrades (and other management). If you have low volume you
can of course use SSH and script it if that's what you want. They
also have TR-69 based management, and perhaps others.
If only Ubiquiti had so many (documented) options for management...
DHCPv6 is fine.
Jordi did a panel a year ago at APNIC where he browbeat vendors about
supporting transition mechanisms. The summary is that they said they
have code, they just don't want to ship everything, because it's more to
maintain.

This led to the draft he mentioned upthread, requiring support. OpenWRT
is still the only thing I've seen that wasn't a customer-specific build.
Get in touch with them, tell them I said hi. They might be able to
accomodate your low volume by sending you gateways with their default
software on it and you'd have to upgrade it to whatever image you
want on it, yourself. It only takes a few minutes per box so should
be perfectly doable with your low volume
That could work. I'll give them a shout. Thanks for the pointer.
Out of curiosity, what do you use to terminate the MAP/LW4o6
tunnels/encaps to the public Internet? Plenty of options here, of
course, especially at the traffic rates I'm moving. I'm just curious
what others' experiences have been as these are still somewhat new in
SP deployments, I think.
Open source software. For stateless transition mechanisms (MAP/LW4o6) it
can be really fast. We have a build I'd be happy to share, if you want.
