you should better practice using before IETF54 (Yokohama Japan),
as we may deploy IPv6-only terminal cluster :-):-):-)
seriously, with the address allocation policy/status in JP I guess
IETF54 term room may have to use IPv4 NAT or something alike.
If you use IPv6, you should be safe. So it's better to prepare today
than tomorrow.
For many or most of us, it's not a matter of our preparation. Rather it is
the matter of infrastructure support for IPv6. Until our corporate and ISP
and operating system and application infrastructures support IPv6, we
unfortunately must remain IPv4 users. So I humbly request that all IETF
meetings support NAT-free pure IPv4 networks for use by IETF attendees.
Pure IPv6 networks would be good too!
