Re: chicago IETF IPv6 connectivity

     to use legacy protocol like IPv4 :-) you can use IPv6-to-IPv4
     tranlators like NAT-PT or RFC3142.

NAT-PT (RFC 2766) is being moved to Historic status. RFC 3142 is 
Informational. Without a standards-track method for people to use 
IPv4, changing a production network to IPv6 seems unwise.

        RFC status does not have direct connection with "being implemented" or
        "being deployed" (see all the W3C standards which did not originate
        in IETF).

        at N+I tokyo we have been using RFC2766/3142 for IPv6-only net cafe
        since around year 2000 or something.  in June 2007 N+I network team
        used Windows Vista official releases as the clients.

     their scalability is no worse than IPv4-to-IPv4 NAT.

That may be true, but it is also irrelevant, given that the current 
production network doesn't use IPv4 NAT at all.

        you are in ARIN region so you are enjoying vast amount of IPv4 address
        space...  come to APNIC region or LACNIC region to experience the pain.
        i pay $300/mo for PA /29, and it is a real bargain.
