See comments from other regarding Teredo. This is probably a non-issue
at large. I'd rather worry about 6to4...

I wonder what current scalable 6to4 relay implementations are out there,
short of DIY Linux/BSD boxes. Cisco has 6to4 since aeons - but what
about scaling on "hardware" forwarding platforms? Juniper unfortunately
still doesn't implement 6to4 relay encaps on any router platform.
Sparing a 10GE port on MX for tunnel service 6to4 here and there would
certainly be the low hanging fruit for many folks here - no joy though,
too late I guess.

No debate on the big suckage factor of global anycast 6to4 - but we all
should carefully consider deploying 6to4 relays to unsuck 6to4 as far as
possible. Question is: what do we have in the toolbox currently? Also
we should think of a BCP how to deploy such relays (I never operated a
globally advertised anycast 6to4 relay myself, so cannot comment or
guesstimate how many things we can do wrong when trying to do so).

Best regards,
Daniel
