    This is a common scenario for many private/SOHO users. DHCP PD
    works perfectly, and lines up nicely with existing v4 practices
    (I'll use the ISP's CPE, why manage more devices than necessary),
    with the LAN immediately on the other side of the device (seen
    from the ISP side).

    The other case (CPE behind CPE) works "fine" with v4 (let's ignore
    double NAT and double port forwarding for a sec :) - but when doing
    v6 -> ouch.

    ... is there a scenario where prefix delegation could be made to work ?
    Can CPE 2 use the prefix handed off by CPE 1, request another prefix
    amd stick that on *its* lan ?
