I'm a content provider. I'm am prepared to turn on more ipv6 services that are visible to consumers. 6to4 is a visible and measurable source of collateral damage. If consenting adults want to use it that's fine, I would greatly appreciate it if the facility were: * off by default * considered harmful when not deliberately used. The gradually declining determinism that we fully expect to experience from ipv4 access networks and mobile broadband in particular we expect to be hard enough to manage without those users riding in over 6to4. I think the two documents at present encourage: * vendors an implementors to consider not using or a least disabling by default 6to4 auto-tunneling in existing and future implementations. * the deployment of additional 6to4 anycast relays which if done would help address issue that existing users of 6to4 who will be with us for a while as well as those who would prefer to use it would benefit from. > I think nobody wants to kill the successful use of 6to4, but > we need to stop the operational problems getting worse.
