It's hard to see v6-only networks as a viable, general-purpose solution to anything in the foreseeable future. I'm not sure why people keep fixating on that as an end goal. The future we ought to be working towards is a consistent, reliable, dual-stack environment. There's no point worrying about v6-only operations if we can't get dual-stack working reliably.
facile but fallacious fanboyism o if ipv6 can not operate as the only protocol, and we will be out of ipv4 space and have to deploy 6-only networks, it damned well better be able to stand on its own. o if ipv6 can not stand on its own, then dual-stack is a joke that will be very un-funny very shortly, as one partner in the marriage is a dummy. randy
