Technical Summary
 
 This document discusses problems that can occur when dual stack nodes
 that have IPv6 enabled by default are deployed in IPv4 or mixed IPv4
 and IPv6 environments.  The problems include application connection
 delays, poor connectivity, and network insecurity.  The purpose of
 this memo is to raise awareness of these problems so that they can be
 fixed or worked around, not to try to specify whether IPv6 should be
 enabled by default or not.
