So far I think we want to recommend dual stack. So, we need to think
about this outage more as a way to get ourselves experience with IPV6,
not as a network configuration anyone should be expected to use on a
regular basis.
As a simple model, let's assume 4 administrations are in the critical path:
1. Participant's laptop
2. IETF network ops
3. Collection of backbone operators
4. Participant's service provider
Each of these must support v6, for true dual stack to work.
Two major questions:
a) What is the current assessment about IPv6 support for major backbone
service providers?
b) What is the lowly participant to do if they are a mere customer of a real,
commercial service provider or a real organizational IT department who does
not support v6 on production machines?
With respect to the latter, what information will be usefully obtained by the
blocking of these participants from their home services that could not have
been learned from a simple survey to their home service operators?
