Subj : IPv6 and Netgear followup

Hey all.

So I finally got some feedback from the Netgear community forum and as
expected Netgear themselves where of little use. :)

They pointed me to a guide on how to enable IPv6 by setting it to Autodetect,
which I had already done ofc. Not a word on other possibilities like
firewalling etc.

I did however get a response from other user asking me what the problem with
performance was on 3d-party firmwares and hinted me towards a option in
Tomato by Shibby under the Adv->Misc section called CTF (Cut Through
Forwarding), so I flashed the R7000 again and did a couple of speedtests both
with and without this option set... Dang! Talk about difference. 250Mbit
without CTF, 980Mbit with. :D

Happy camper as I was I quickly setup my he.net tunnel and opened up a few
ports which was stupidly easy in Tomato. Done and done, should now be working
at full speed AND the IPv6 features I need.
