Public talking abouit 6to4 (was comments on draft-ietf-v6ops-nat64-pb-statement-req-00)

[EricLKlein@softhome.net]

Slightly off topic, but I just came cross 2 articles that try to explain to 
the public what the v6-to-v4 issue is about and seem to indicate that this 
will be very big in Dublin: 

Take a look at these, they are both very heavy with quotes (or are written 
by) people involved with v6 but not this discussion. 

After staunch resistance, NAT may come to IPv6 after all By Iljitsch van

Much-maligned feature being added to IPv6
Standards body weighs network address translators for next-gen Internet
By Carolyn Duffy Marsan - 
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/072108-ipv6nat.html (quotes Fred 
Baker) IETF Chair Russ Housley says NATs are "necessary for a smooth 
transition from IPv4 to IPv6." 

These seems to be saying that v6NAT will be added, but if you read through 
both articles it is more of the 6to4 issue with a bad marketing slant. 

We need to watch this or we will be fighting inappropriate expectations.
