   I forgot to mention the other end of the tunnel is on an IPv6 capable (native)   
   network too. :)

   It's also possible that IPv4 may remain a niche protocol on isolated networks   
   (with 4in6 links between as needed) indefinitely.  Similar to how IPX was in   
   the mid-late 90s for gaming, where it was carried over IP using software like   
   Kali to enable LAN games to work over the Internet, IIRC.  Back then, if a non   
   Netware network was full of IPX packets, then at least a few people were   
   gaming. :)

   Theoretically, I also have a /24 that can be reached over the Internet.  It's   
   part of the AMPRnet 44.x allocation and is used on my VPX to provide online   
   services for amateur radio.  Mostly Echolink proxies and conferences (which   
   consume close to 200 IPs currently).  My VPS provider routes the /24 for me   
   over BGP.   
      
   Yeah, I am an unusual hobbyist. :)   
      
      
   ... See if you can guess which drink will make me love you.
