Re: Question on transition strategy
OK, thanks. From there, it seems TRT is what we would see. There is no "global" strategy for this transition (as I had worngly assumed), and it's up to each IPv6 subnet (at suitable level) to provide these mechanisms. In the ISP case, I presume the ISP would provide that. Getting back to my example, the browser would get AAAA records (assuming I point it to the ISP's DNS-ALG), and the ISP would provide the TRT server to xlate to IPv4. Fine, I'll just wait to see it happen when my ISP offers IPv6 (they have no plans). I guess the IPv6 islands from which I tried things did not offer any of this yet (no wonder then that IPv6 traffic stays so low).
Other ISPs might prefer other approaches, such as Web proxy.

| The excuse I am getting from certain quarters is their upstream provider does not have IPv6 support. So it looks like we need to encourage ISPs, who encourage their upstream providers, and then get the change requests to happen.
Of course in the meantime there are tunnels, such as sixxs.net | |
