Why?  Have you determined the cause of the failure, and found
that the tunnel/NAT were correctly configured, but protocol
constraints prevent any configuration from operating nominally?

: End-to-end connec-

When was end-to-end connectivity ever guaranteed?  In a blocks-world,
perhaps.

: I know
: people have problem getting addresses but that should push IPv6 more, not
: promote hacks such as NAT.

I must confess great skepticism regarding v6.  It has been all talk
for 10 years now.  There is so much v4 equipment installed out there
that v6 will remain a ghetto for the next decade -- at least.
