So the biggest problem with 6to4 relays is that they are not ubiquitous and/or well run. Does offering your relays to the world, thereby improving the odds of off-net traffic returning through them >0, actually offer an improvement to your own users' experience with 6to4? Joe Franck Martin

I think it is really depending on how your network topology looks like. If you have top-down design with star topology to limit the network connections to individual routers, it may scale well. But if you connect every routers to each other such as full-mesh, it will be a problem during interface f
