A question came to mind with all the discussion of ipv6 vulnerabilities.  I=
 am wondering for those with a lot of real world pure IPv6 connectivity, ho=
w robust have been the V6 to V4 gateways necessary for intercommunication b=
etween native IPv6 hosts and the IPv4 world?  I was thinking that going to =
native ipv6 depends heavily on these gateways being reachable and having fa=
irly high performance characteristics.  How are the service providers doing=
 providing these services?
