I am wondering why there hasn't been more discussion about using LISP as the vehicle to get us to IPv6, e.g. by having EIDs as IPv6 addresses and RLOCs as IPv4 addresses from the onset. A hallway discussion brought up the subject of incremental deployment, but why can't we just use 6to4 as the bootstrapping vehicle to get us to LISP/IPv6?
By this, I mean that nodes having 2002::/16 EIDs are handled using 6to4 and have the same deployment profile as for 6to4 today. Then, we require that nodes having non-6to4 EIDs be deployed behind ETRs. If we then also say that 6to4 relay routers must configure themselves as ITRs and do the necessary map-and-encaps, we have an incremental deployment profile. Any thoughts on this?
