Yes, this this correct. However, there is a fairly 'common' expectation today about what the 'user experience' is. Sure, YMMV, but very often the v4 story is a direct PC connected behind a modem or a v4 NAT box + all the NAT traversal baggage + a bunch of device in the home that may have different 'upgrade path' to v6... So, even though this is not written by any I*, this is where we are starting from. Now my question is: where do we land? Simply saying: > "provide the customer with > access to/from any public-facing IPv6-based Internet resource" is not sufficient, IMHO, to describe a transition plan effectively. - Alain.
