Hullo all.
I'm working on a talk, and would be interested to know what people think is good about tunnels as an IPv6 transition technology, and what people think is bad about tunnels.
It would probably be best to let me know off-list :-) but I'm happy to summarise back to the list. Any references you have to useful papers, articles, discussions etc would also be appreciated.
I'm looking for both general problems and advantages, but also advantages and disadvantages specific to particular tunnel types. It would also be helpful to know from what perspective particular things are good or bad, in so far as it isn't obvious. A carrier has a different perspective than, say, a home user, who will have a different perspective again to an enterprise user.
Many thanks in advance for your input.
All I can say is that if it wasn't for HE tunnels I would be SOL. No provider here in east central Florida can even speak IPv6. Brighthouse is clueless. ATT told me maybe 2012 or 2013! So I tunnel to HE's POP in Miami. With this I can test and become dual stack operational. Yes, it is not as good as a native connection but in my position its the only game in town. Tom
