No, it is not "Native IPv6 over DSL" or any other form unfortunately.

You have to start thanking Microsoft for pushing 6to4 and especially Teredo, having it automatically on new platforms and having clients like uTorrent auto-enable it on install for those that don't.

uTorrent seems to be the guilty party, since it correlates with TPB. This must mean that silently enabling IPv6 increases the number of people for whom IPv6 works by a factor of around 100 (from <0.01% in the general population to ~1% among TPB users). That's good news. Native IPv6 would be better than Teredo, but seeing a couple of hundred thousand random-user endpoints work isn't bad.
