Excerpt
Introduction: In order to evaluate the suitability of transition mechanisms from IPv4 [RFC791] to IPv6 [RFC2460], we need to define the environment or scope in which these mechanisms have to be used. One specific scope is the unmanaged networks, which typically correspond to home networks or small office networks.
