Otherwise, disconnect it and don't look back. So many

<div style="">So Kevin turns off his relay, and 900Mbps of
traffic sloshes over to some other relays. Those relays
see a sudden increase in traffic, and some of them might
get overloaded. The operators of the ones that are
overloaded will ask themselves the same question, and some
of them might get the same answer. If they get the same
answer, then repeat. At the end, 6to4 basically doesn't
work at all.<br>

The problem is that the advice is based on a false premise. Native
access is NOT yet widely available in many parts of the world. If
it were, there wouldn't be much 6to4 traffic, and turning off 6to4
relays wouldn't cause problems.<br>
<br>
So a recommendation to drop 6to4 relays would, at the present time,
be a very harmful recommendation.<br>
