[j-nsp] Anybody have an SRX working with Comcast DHCP v4 and v6?

Comcast uses stateful DHCPv6 where it delegates a Identity Association (the /128 for your external interface) and a Prefix Delegation which can be used on your internal network. Comcast will allocate a PD of up to a /60 which could give you up to 16 /64 site level aggregation (SLAs).

Right now I can o all of this on FreeBSD using a third party package (KAME DHCPv6).  I belive the SRX can support it based on this KB:

Let me know how it goes.

For residential, I think the largest Comcast assigns by PD is /60.
However, it is up to you to set the request size; DHCPv6 has a field for
that (IIRC by default you only get a /64 from Comcast).

I see (on OpenWRT, not JUNOS) a /128 assigned to the WAN interface and a
DHCPv6 PD /60, which OpenWRT then carves up for the local networks.
