Sure; but this would probably be sufficient for the average John Doe,
right?

What John Doe wants is irrelevant. What the IPv6 applications require is.
Now, are you telling us that the potential IPv6 'killer apps' will not need stable addresses?
Making this assumption is very dangerous, IMHO.


They found MSN, Yahoo, Google, KaZaA etc. Friends tell that is the

Right. If we assume IPv6 would have killer applications which would
make the users really eager to get it, sure -- everything would
probably be simpler.  But in the absence of such, we need to forward
without them :-).

In the absence of such, what is the justification of IPv6?
