Hi Behcet,

About the statement of "do not use A+P at the customer level", could
you provide some background information, For example list the reasons?

BTW, for the record, what does "customer" mean exactly here? Is home
gateway also a customer-level terminology, or you only mean do not
apply A+P to IPv6-connected host?

Thanks a lot.
