Tunnels? seriously? no, please...
End-users shouldn't care about which IP version they are using.
+1 Over-the-top tunnels are actually killing IPv6 experience for everyone (excess RTT, MTU, geolocation and speed issues, etc.) Plus, to quote SixXS: https://www.sixxs.net/news/2015/#callyourispforipv6-1201
Unfortunately it seems a large number of ISPs think that our service is a free pass for them to not deploy IPv6, as they direct their (paying) customers who want IPv6 to our service.
Maybe a better idea would be to create a fund for financial support of IPv6 deployments of providers, especially the big ones. Because most of them have no real technical problems, they just deliberately postpone the IPv6 adoption unless inevitable. The main idea is the later they deploy it, the less money it would cost. They don't have any actual need to deploy it, unless, say, YouTube stops playing HD videos to IPv4 clients. (That would be cool, actually.) I'm fully aware that any such support will be unfair to all those that already used their own money to deploy IPv6. But on the other hand, deploying IPv6 at big providers is in the interest of the RIPE community as a whole. Best Regards, Ondřej Caletka CESNET
