We haven't made the bits available for customers to install their own Teredo Servers/Relays at this point, and because we haven't, we also don't have good deployment guidance to go along with that. Considering that Teredo <-> (6to4|native) connectivity requires going through at least a relay, and that hosts behind NAT who get AAAA records will use Teredo, then yes, absolutely, it appears as though as a service provider, I don't have much choice. I'd also prefer to put at least one server (or group of servers) in to my network, to remove reliance on third parties to bootstrap the protocol. While Teredo through public servers/relays may perform OK right now for people in North America and Europe who are topologically (on a global scale) near to Teredo servers/relays, for people like myself in New Zealand for example, we get 150ms-ish RTT to the nearest publicly available server/relay. As such, if I turn v6 on on my content, then a non-zero (and currently increasing!) amount of visitors to my pages will see their traffic go to the US and back, which means a performance/user experience hit. In addition, as more and more people become Teredo clients, those public relays need to do more and more. I'd prefer to be able to give a better chance of good network service quality, by bringing that in- house. -- Nathan Ward
