Indeed I agree. Just to rephrase the question: Is IPv6 to be used only as end to end host to host protocol or should IPv6 also be used as transport protocol natively in the networks. Solid deployments prove it can be used for both. Many people think it can and should be used for both. But if there is solid IETF formal statement that it is *only* to be used as end to end host protocol then we should really start putting more work into other encapsulations which will allow to simply transport IPv6 datagrams as payload or alternatively industry will seek other standards to conitinue work on IPv6 as transport protocol. Just imagine how it can be called ... IPv6+ :) Many thx, R.
