Content providers complaining about 6to4 reverse paths not working

can run a 6to4 relay, in most cases the servers can do the job
themselves.  You don't have to be using a 6to4 address to do this.

The issue primarily is CPE/routers in people's homes which are behind a layer of IPv4 NAT.  Some have 6to4 on, but of course it doesn't work.  This leads people's computers to believe they have v6 connectivity when they don't so they spend a long time trying to connect with IPV6.

The content provider TO consumer side isn't the issue, it's the consumer TO content provider direction.
