Repeating what I recently wrote to IETF ML...

IPv6 is not operational, which is partly why most service
providers refuse it.

For example, to purposelessly enable multicast PMTUD, RFC2463
(ICMPv6) mandates routers generate ICMPv6 packet too big
against multicast packets, which causes ICMPv6 packet
implosions, which is not operational.

For further details, see my presentation at the last APNIC:

    How Path MTU Discovery Doesn't work
    http://meetings.apnic.net/__data/assets/file/0018/38214/pathMTU.pdf

W.r.t. your slides at Taipei IETF, 48bit address space with IPv4
address and port numbers is the end to end transparent water for
salmon. For the transparency, see, for example, rfc3102:

   RSIP is intended as a alternative to NAT in which the end-
   to-end integrity of packets is maintained.
