Are there specific problems of stability of such an address? Could you elaborate? One problem is, of course, that if the IPv6 address is stored somewhere for a longer time, the non-IPv6 aware hosts might be "harassed" by 6to4 packets which they don't know of. But the same thing happens with IPv4 addresses today, and I don't think this is a big problem. Obviously, 6to4 might not be preferebale in highly dynamic networks, but currently I believe those are implemented by the ISPs putting the users behind a NAT, and forcibly changing the NAT mappings more often than necessary. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
