I think one should keep in mind that it's not necessary to reach every
IPv6 island directly (a usual justification for e.g. IGP/EGP tunneling).
I think we can pretty much discard [BGP][IGP] from scenario 2 too --
they're applicable for smaller-than-Internet scopes, which scenario 2 does
not seem to be at all.
