How to use an AppleTV as an IPv6 router

Originally, I had hoped to use my Apple Airport Extreme as the IPv6 router for my home network, since it can act as a tunnel anchor for the IPv6 tunnel I obtained from sixxs.net. Unfortunately, that functionality currently (as of firmware 7.4.1) only works when the uplink IPv4 address is statically configured (i.e., no DHCP). My ISP doesn't support that; even for "static" addresses I still need to run DHCP. So instead, I hacked my AppleTV to be the tunnel anchor and route IPv6 in and out of my home. Here's how I did it: https://fit.nokia.com/lars/appletv-ipv6-router.html

I have no idea what sort of software the AppleTV has, but you could look at the steps for MacOS X and see whether they can be made to work, or tweaked to work, on the AppleTV.
