Plan on dual-stacking any network which requires
access to IPv4 resources such as the public Internet.

For many folks, that's easier said than done.

Think about it: If everyone could just dual-stack their networks, they
might as well single-stack them on IPv4 instead; there would be no
point whatsoever in transitioning to IPv6 for anyone.

Hi Tore,

That's what NAT is for. Use RFC 1918 space for end users, RFC 6598
space for ISPs.

Plan on dual-stacking until IPv6 deployment is ubiquitous. Which won't
be this year. Or next.
