Question: are there any (DSL?) CPE units for sale or in development that will do v6 to v4 translation, plus v6 pass-thru?
In practical terms (and I'm being only slightly pedantic) there *is* no v6 to v4 translation. There are tunnels, and there is native IPv6.
Are you saying that when a v6 host says "Connect to ::ffff:cfdb: 2d24", the answer will invariably be "can't"?
That's exactly what I'm saying, yes.
