I expect that in ~3 years, we will see dual-stack and /64's handed out =
in conjunction with an IPv4 address as "common".
The ipv6 zealots talking about anything but a /64 for end-site are =
talking about a "business class" service. Even with my static IPs at =

dreams. I could live with ~256 ips for the future. I consider my tech =
density "above-average".
