Dear Fotis,

Others have done so (EUCHINAGRID project, afaik) and they only thing they came up to has been, at best, a patch that can provide private-IPv4 over IPv6. But, private we've got already, so that's not any progress.

to be more precise, what EuChinaGRID did was not to provide patches to provide private-IPv4 over IPv6. Within EuChinaGRID we did essentially 2 things: First, we deployed gLite and GOS on a testbed and studied the behavior using IPv6. In doing this studies, we also exploited NAT-PT to perform specific Client-Server studies. Second, since Research and Education network are IPv6 native , we are carrying out several tests, native IPv6, especially within the Chinese part of out project.
