But that's "better value" by making IPv4 work less good. and I'll postulate that we can make A+P / shared IPv4 work good enough that end-users who are trained to live behind a NATs will not notice. For me I would get added value when I could deploy IPv6 only services at home, e.g. mail, XMPP, web, SIP... VPN. And I could reach my own home whenever I'm travelling. With a devil's advocate hat on, IPv6 in my home right now gives me slightly more hassle than it is worth. The only value is that I am able to reach my IPv6 only mail server from work and at IETFs, but that's pretty much it. I can't do IPv4 as a service either (like relegate IPv4 to the edge of the network and run IPv6 only inside), because there are too many IPv4 only devices. When's that going to change? 50% deployment? 90% deployment? cheers, Ole
