dual stack & IPv6 on by default
My colleagues (Sebastien Roy & Jim Paugh) from Sun & I wrote a draft
on dual stack implementations and turning IPv6 on by default on them.

We would like to offer it as a contribution to v6ops
and would like to receive feedback from the wg.

Abstract
The dual stack model is based on the assumption that applications can
try communicating to destinations over IPv6 first and fall back to
IPv4 if IPv6 doesn't work. Before turning the dual stack on by
default, we need to make sure that this assumption holds even in
cases where IPv6 connectivity is not perfect.
This document looks at scenarios in which things can go wrong if the
IPv6 dual stack is enabled by default.
