It's a good point that you brought up. Even though we already have IPv6 P2P (Nathan's post explains this in more detail), it would still be quite interesting to provide IPv6 as a higher class of traffic within service provider networks. Quite likely 6to4 relays and native IPv6 traffic is best effort today (ie. the same as IPv4 inet). I think operators would need to consider the financial implications of placing this traffic ahead of their current revenue generating services. Possibly instead of prioritizing the traffic, if the ISPs that normally police traffic from CE's could provide a higher policed rate for IPv6 traffic, so the experience is significantly different even in times where there is no congestion.
