Re: [shim6] IPv6 multihoming

[Vlad Ion <[e-mail]>]

Hi Gert,

The idea was that people should only need to switch v6 on have have it run
and not need to deploy 6to4, for example to access the v6 internet and in
addition to that something like nat-pt to access the v4 internet. My
thinking was that if you can access the v4 internet in v6 form, translated
by those that own each address block or at least most prefixes, it would be
a lot more stimulating for everyone else to switch on your v6 address which
you would simply obtain by converting your existing v4 to a 2002:: just as
an example, or ask for a PI/PA space and have it run with minimum effort.

BR,
Vlad
