I think we have to be careful in reaching conclusions on this case. 

Alain wrote in his mail which I quote here:

In our case, we have:

    * many millions of edge devices (similar to your UE) 
   * thousands of routers 
   * thousands of servers

So your mileage with DS-Lite varies according to how much your network fits 
into the above proportions. If you exactly have the above, DS-Lite fits you 
best.

In mobile networks, this translates into operators asking all base stations to 
be IPv6-enabled and support/use IPv6 in applications like backhauling. 

Otherwise base stations are Layer 2 devices so you don't get a lot of mileage 
from DS-Lite. In fact it is very easy/straightforward to deploy DS-Lite in 
mobile networks.

There is nothing wrong with this conclusion, it is just a fact.

Regards,

Behcet
