IPv6 is one of the main technologies to solve the IPv4 address exhaustion problem. The world major Internet Service Providers are currently accelerating their IPv6 network provisioning to provide IPv6 Internet services. After the core network is fully IPv6 capable, CPEs (Customer Premise Equipments), which connect Internet and home network, will play an important role in extending IPv6 connectivity to the end users. RFC 6204 defines the basic IPv6 capabilities of these kinds of CPEs. In this study, conformance test, interoperability test using the real network environment and performance test are used to verify these RFC6204 compliant CPEs can meet the Internet Service Providers' IPv6 connection requirements.
