The folks that have done the most work in enabling IPv6-only end users seem to be CERNET2 in China. To let people get to v4, they're using what they call IVI (get it?), which is basically NAT64+DNS64. <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6219> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT64> If you don't mind running IPv4 in a tunnel over that IPv6 network, you can do DSlite or 4rd <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6333> <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-despres-intarea-4rd-01> < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanisms#Dual-Stack_Lite_.28D...

The part of IPv6 that I am unclear on and have not found much documentation on is how to run IPv6 only to end users. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?
Can we assign IPv6 only to end users? What software/equipment do we need in place as a ISP to ensure these customers can reach IPv4 only hosts?
The Interwebs are full of advice on setting up IPv6 tunnels for your house (nice but...). There is lots of really old documentation out there for IPv6 mechanisms that are depreciated or didn't fly.
What is current best practice?
