I've been trying to figure out what side effects I'd actually notice if the transition takes too long. I'm not concerned about IPv6 connectivity since there are tunnel brokers and I have a proxy with IPv6 support. But let's say my ISP decides to put me behind a large NAT in a few years, I'm guessing that would cause problems with inbound connections? (i.e. no torrenting or home servers over IPv4?)

Edited by Ego

the tunnelling/4to6 thing is a horribly clumsy workaround

i wish ISPs would just bite the bullet and do the switch
