A great talk if you have 40 minutes to spare, here is a summary for those that don't:

- the networking community has backed itself into a crufty transition that will involve a ton of NATs and ALGs due to the deferment of v6 roll-outs by incumbent carriers.

- v4 space will run out in different regions at different times, leading to disparate and hastily constructed transition solutions.

- this is going to break end-to-end in a very bad way.

- last mile telcos and cable operators do not want to invest in equipment required to make this work at the edge.

- they'll probably try to extort content/application providers into funding the transition.

- and/or erect a service model where your end-to-end connectivity time is metered, i.e. your v4<->v6 NAT is time limited.

- government regulators need to step in to avoid a fragmented Internet
