I working on a large airport WiFi deployment right now. IPv6 is "allowed for in the future" but not configured in the 
short term. With less than 10,000 ephemeral users, we don't expect users to demand IPv6 until most mobile devices and 
apps come ready to use IPv6 by default.

It’s my understanding that many captive portals have trouble with IPv6 traffic and this is a blocker for places.

I’m wondering what people who deploy captive portals are doing with these things?

seems to be trying to document the method to signal to clients how to authenticate.  I was having horrible luck with 
Boingo yesterday at RDU airport with their captive portal and deauthenticating me so just went to cellular data, so 
wondering if IPv4 doesn’t work well what works for IPv6.

Thanks,
