[v6ops] FW: ISATAP Operational Guidance

Hello,

There are millions of hosts in operational deployment today with
ISATAP enabled by default. Those hosts try to enable ISATAP when
there is no native IPv6 available, but administrative action is
required to activate the service within the site.

RFC 6964 now provides "Operational Guidance for IPv6 Deployment in
IPv4 Sites Using the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol
(ISATAP)" (see below). It takes no position on whether the service
should be activated, but provides guidance to administrators who
are considering its use. The document is therefore offered to the
community as an informational resource.

Many end-user sites in the Internet today still have predominantly
IPv4 internal infrastructures.  These sites range in size from small
home/office networks to large corporate enterprise networks, but
share the commonality that IPv4 provides satisfactory internal
routing and addressing services for most applications.  As more and
more IPv6-only services are deployed, however, end-user devices
within such sites will increasingly require at least basic IPv6
functionality.  This document therefore provides operational guidance
for deployment of IPv6 within predominantly IPv4 sites using the
Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP).
