Thank you for the book recommendation; however, I was trying to get an
admission that any IPv6-connected end users or corporate connections,
will be accessing IPv4-only resources for a long time to come, i.e.
years and years.

And that the responsibility for IPv6 to v4 connection won't have to be
handled by my client with a few racks.

Cordially
