I'm sorry if I was unclear.  I was speaking of IPv6 network topology
when I was saying "upstream provider", regardless of whether that
provider is using native IPv6 or tunnels or whatever.  The ISP providing
the service provider endpoint of the tunnel should allocate space to
their customer, even if that customer is getting to them via a tunnel
through another ISP.

I'm surprised this isn't already on the service menu of those ISPs that
have begun deploying IPv6...
