Not seeing what bearing any of that, or what I deleted, has on the original
question.

Neither my border router nor my (current, archaic) firewall do IPv6.  Nor,
come to think of it, does any of my core LAN equipment.  If I tried to
approach my boss to tell him we needed to throw away all of our network
gear and replace it, at a cost of 10s of thousands of dollars, to support
IPv6, he'd either fire me or have me committed.

And yes: The corporate LAN is, unfortunately, riddled with 'doze PCs.
Oddly enough: The lack of IPv6 support on LAN, WLAN, and 'net
connection (and WLAN, when we had one) did not seem to be a problem.
