Getting more and more off-topic, but regardless of what purists might think, load balancing is a crucial function (until TCP stack and/or socket API get fixed - read: not likely) and at least some of them do and will use some sort of NAT to do their job.
I think this is the key point. While providers are not putting up content on IPv6 for this reason, it is an issue.
Ok, so I see some consensus on the question, if load balancers are needed in RIPE-501 foloowup document or not. The answer is yes. My question is, should we create new hw category for this or should we put it in any of existing category? Merike, Sander, I'm inviting you back to drawing board to fix this request :) /jan
