I have done a proof of concept on DOCSIS3, took a few hours to get 
infrastructure such as DHCPv6-PD delegation in the ISC dhcpd working 
properly together with everything, but it wasn't very hard.

This was of course in the lab, just to see if we could get basic packet 
flowing with the gear at hand. DOCSIS3 has quite good IPv6 features in the 
specs and it your gear complies with the spec, it should work.
