Yes, same here. I can connect with evey node I need to connect with so a tunnel
would only add complexity and I don't need that.

There is a down side to IPv6. There are machines and systems in use that don't
an never will support IPv6. I think that is what is holding up IPv6.

A dual stack of IPv6 and IPv4 will likely be needed for some time.

There are folks who don't have IPv4 now, I don't know what the numbers are but
we really do need to move that way. IPv4's days are numbered.
