Wondering how this works when the system is a router with one interface facing the ISP? I get an IPv6 from my ISP but default routes aren't appearing in ip -6 route and I don't know what's responsible for doing that. Not sure if I should be pointing radvd toward the ISP.

@LawrenceC: The router gets a prefix from the ISP, and then passes on this prefix on the internal interfaces. Google "IPv6 prefix delegation". Assuming a home router etc., you usually configure dnsmasq for that.
