RE: IPv6 Home Use to stimulate deployment over IPv4-NAT

["Bound, Jim" <Jim.Bound@hp.com>]

Good.  I am trying to access the CTOs of two of the largest home provider routers now, and internationally.  I am getting help from some industry leaders to set up a discussion to hear feasibility of this.  It could be we can use the tunnel broker we have specified now and just go do it.  I don't want to spend 3 years here discussing it. We can refine it here but maybe as Tony stated it is not a standards issue and I am not sure yet? I think Alain's point and my problem now of to much work for the home clients has to be resolved.
