        I agree. But the real challenge I think is applications. Even translation is required when ISPs assign private IPv4 addresses, the clients have enough applications to use. But when ISPs assign IPv6 addresses, can you imagine that these IPv6 clients can only use FTP, Telnet, Traceroute, Web etc?
