Hello Tony,

    TL> Yes, you need to take active steps in a lot of cases,   
      
   For starters: 30% of the nodes in my list of IPv6 capable nodes still connect   
   via a tunnel. Setting uo a tunnel certainly requires taking active steps.

   Your ISp is a pioneer. Many ISPs around the world are still dragging their   
   feet. So " just work" is still the exception rather than te rule.

   I have native Dual Stack now for over a year, but my ISP is also one of the   
   slow ones. Plus that now their policy is to go DS -Light. New customers get   
   DS-Light. On request they can be converted ti IPv4 only.  That is another   
   spoke in the whell of "just work".   
      
    MvV>> Same here. Plus that when adding new links and having to make a   
    MvV>> choice, I prefer to link to the IPv6 capable node over linking   
    MvV>> to the IPv4 only node.   
      
    TL> Me too, I think around 50% of my upstream links have IPv6 here.   
      
   Same here, around 50%. In future, I may even drop some IPv4 only links to up   
   the percentage. ;-)
