Approach IPv6 as a new and different protocol.
Unfortunately, I gather this isn't what end users or network operators want or expect. I suspect if we want to make real inroads towards IPv6 deployment, we'll need to spend a bit more time making IPv6 look, taste, and feel like IPv4 and less time berating folks for "IPv4- think" (not that you do this, but others here do). For example, getting over the stateless autoconfig religion (which was never fully thought out -- how does a autoconfig'd device get a DNS name associated with their address in a DNSSEC-signed world again?) and letting network operators use DHCP with IPv6 the way they do with IPv4. Or, we simply continue down the path of more NATv4. Regards, -drc
