It is not for us to decide when a user's network is not worth expending any more energy on. They have deployed their network... and do not want to expend any more energy themselves. If their SP deploys IPv6 inelegantly, the user would have a lot of frustration/work. Which will generate many

Agreed. I would phrase it this way: How to do IPv6 in an IPv4 world. Some points from the Description: o Service providers are deploying IPv6, and support for IPv6 is increasingly available in home gateway devices. This is only *part* of the story. *Users* have lots of IPv4 devices in

Mark, 100% in agreement with this stance. Just to echo what Fernando has already stated, you can't completely ignore IPv4 in the home network especially when you are talking about a multi-segmented network. For example RFC6204 calls for a separate /64 on each LAN interface per the L-2
