Tunnels are nifty. I learned a great deal about IPv6 using tunnels.
Thank you Hurricane Electric.

Now I'm done with tunnels. I'll start my for-real IPv6 deployment once
I have my for-real addresses.

Don't kid yourselves. The other existing Origin ASes will start their
for-real IPv6 deployments only after obtaining registry addresses as
well.

Chris,

With the new tech out there like 6rd, what's your best guess as to
what size a preemptive ISP allocation should be for those 2661
ARIN-region ISPs (75%) that haven't yet gotten their IPv6 allocations?
