AW: [address-policy-wg] IPv6 allocations for 6RD

No, using 6RD I do not need to account v6 and I do not need to provision
network elements with v6. Ah yes, and my network elements in between do need
to speak v6 so that I can leave them in their normal life cycle instead of
investing a lot of money.

Cheers,
Florian

Use opensource, they are more IPv6 aware. By the way, you have to teach 
your IT tools to speak v6, since with 6RD you are using v6!
