Why are you reliant on the telcos to move to IPv6?
Sure they could play the 6-to-4 game, but that just highlights one problem with v6: there no effective migration path from v4 to v6... Besides, 6-to-4 looks a lot like NAT, and it is almost universally agreed that NAT is teh suck In order to offer native v6 content, a content provider will need an upstream intartubes provider...but since there is no (effective) end-site multi-homing in IPv6, they can only pick one provider, so they have to hope that it is a good one [tm]... my $0.02 /joshua -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. - Douglas Adams -
