This is highly amusing, as for myself and many folks the experience
of these 'other protocols', when trying to run in open, scalable,
and commercially-viable deployments, was to encapsulate in IP(v4)
at the LAN/WAN boundary. It is no wonder that is the natural reaction
to IPv6 by those who have survived and been successful with such
operational simplicity.
Cheers,
Joe
