Well, all terminals attached to a given APN will receive the same router
advertisements from the GGSN, so having two IPv4 global addresses per
APN would simply mean that each primary PDP context would get two 6to4
addresses, but the limit will still be 64k primary PDP contexts per APN.

As for your question, to say a number, 500k primary PDP contexts on a
single APN seems quite realistic (assuming a GGSN supporting 1 million
PDP contexts).
