Re: one data point regarding native IPv6 support

Noel,

it seems that a lot of the issues could be mitigated by simple
connectivity test.

Well, IPv6 Neighbour Discovery is just the thing. I gather it's turned off
on 6to4 links, which in retrospect was probably a mistake. I would
recommend that it be turned on, but apparently the WG decided against
making that recommendation in the '6to4 fixes' document?

IPv6 Neighbour Discovery requires a multicast capable link and support for 
link-local addresses. a 6to4 link doesn't support either.
NUD could be made to work, but I don't think NUD is any better than any other 
connectivity test. e.g. a "BFD echo" style one as specified for 6rd.

cheers,
Ole
