I think they're going to want to run a dual network for the
near future at least.  but the dual network isn't going to
help with most p2p apps - for the most part it's only going 
to work with two-party (client-server) apps.  if a few
p2p apps can make use of the dual network, so much the better,
but p2p will use IPv6 as soon as it becomes a realistic option...

which I think will be the case when either -
hosts ship with 6to4 and Teredo, or 
the vendor can ship a driver for the above along with the app
