a.

JPIX experimentaly started "stand alone v6 only separate port/collision
domain IX" from Jan. 2002. We chose this option because our policy was 
"make it simple and stable, didn't wanted to affect IPv4 production
traffic." We were very conservative :-)

As I have announced on APNIC25 meeting, we decided starting
"dual-stack on the same port/collision domain" from Aug. 2008.
Now, we have tools to monitor v6 traffic using sflow...

   considerable.
Positive demand from members (like Ethern-san), started coming up.
 # As Kato-san said, we did not have much demand of dual stack.
   Trend was opposite from Arien-san's region.

To start dual-stack, traffic type could be separated using 
Ethertype ACLs. 

There are 3 types of traffic we need to think about,
 1. v4 only
 2. v6 only
Separating them using port/vlan base ether_type filter.
 3. v4/v6 dual-stack
allow [1.2.] above or all.

a. 

But we will also offer a route arbitrator for a member who wants to 
use it.
