[address-policy-wg] 2007-08 New Policy Proposal (Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources)

I think the users will not need to push the ISPs, in general.

The fact is that there is much more IPv6 traffic that what we believe,
transition traffic, and this will impact the ISPs once they start realizing
it, hopefully as soon as possible, so they can take measures, for example,
deploying local 6to4 and Teredo relays, so the RTT get lower and IPv6
connectivity improves. Of course, only as a temporary measure until they can
provide dual-stack in the access and customers have dual-stack enabled CPEs,
possibly with other reasons for replacing them, such as new broadband
technologies (more bandwidth, etc.).

Here is my talk in the last meeting plenary with the traffic stats ...

Looking for a more global measurement, so I can report a much broader view,
but I don't think it will change too much from what I've seen already :-)

Regards,
Jordi
