Re: [address-policy-wg] 2007-08 New Policy Proposal (Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources)

And the same is true with many other apps, such as Windows Live, newer
versions or on-line games, etc.

It is clear that with IPv6 and automatic transition mechanisms, you can
avoid intermediate servers and do a real peer-to-peer. No need for
developing special code for NAT traversal and other stuff.

Other developers are already discovering this and I'm convinced that in less
than one year the 51% that you mention in another email will be exceeded !

So again: Please, all ISPs start deploying 6to4 and Teredo relays in your
networks until you can provide dual-stack to the access. I'm happy to help
on that !

Regards,
Jordi
