The Internet/IAB/IETF/ICANN/ISOC/... history does not proscribe such items as prefix size, static versus dynamic addressing, management models, minimal security, or much else for that matter... It's entirely left to the service provider.
Yes, this this correct. However, there is a fairly 'common' expectation today about what the 'user experience' is. Sure, YMMV, but very often the v4 story is a direct PC connected behind a modem or a v4 NAT box + all the NAT traversal baggage + a bunch of device in the home that may have different 'upgrade path' to v6... So, even though this is not written by any I*, this is where we are starting from. Now my question is: where do we land? Simply saying:
"provide the customer with access to/from any public-facing IPv6-based Internet resource"
is not sufficient, IMHO, to describe a transition plan effectively. - Alain.
