a shim layer seems like a promising enhancement. ietf-shim6 is taking an
approach to a shim layer that will, I suspect, take some time to mature. I'd
be surprised if it saw significant deployment anytime within the next 5 years,
at the earliest.
(a more ascerbic view would probably suggest that it is not even likely to
produce a complete specification within that time, with deployment taking
another 5 years...)
the effort is relying on IPv6 and on the disappearance of NATs, for v6. one
might consider these to be critical dependencies that are rather risky.
