Hello,
I am new to the Address Policy WG and this seems like
quite an old discussion. I endorse assigning a /32 to LIRs regardless of
the IPv6 access method they use.
Other than to 6RD, TSP is another protocol (RFC
5572) that can be used to enable IPv6 to end users rapidly over intermediate
IPv4 nodes. A useful comparison between TSP, 6RD and other IPv6 access
tunneling protocols is shown in http://gogoware.gogo6.com/4105/file.asp?file_id=942
As for IPv6 CPE and server
gateways availability, there are commercial solutions in the market that
implement 6RD and TSP for both sides of the tunnel.
Regards,
-Ahmed

6RD
Hi
We would like to weigh in here.
We feel that it
should be RIPEs policy to allocate ONE /32 to any LIR
who requests it for
6rd.
6rd is the only way for us to reach all our residential customers.
Especially those in Municipal Networks that are very slow to invest in
their networks and often do not have the competence and time to
impelment IPv6.
Also, Cisco has not yet implemented even a small part
of the protective
mechanisms we rely on in IPv4 to secure our residential
networks. Many
of these features are required to meet the demands contracted
with the
customers. We cannot use native IPv6 until Cisco implements these
features and we have tested and rolled them out on hundreds of
switches.
6rd bypasses all these issues. IF we can get a /32 for that
purpuse.
