Absolutely not. It's an architectural issue in the session layer,
when session IDs have no universality.

let me understand this better: my understanding is that six/one router (it ought to be renamed to just IPv6 Address translator, or 6AT) performs a one to one matching. So although the exact value of the "ID" may not be exactly the same before or after an 6AT, nonetheless the session is uniquely identified -- would that be considered as having universality?

Lixia
PS: in the above I used Brian's terminology, but my personal view is that, in the long run, session layer should move away from using IP address entirely.
