Short  version:   To what extent can we consider the routing  scaling
problem of IPv4 being in some way added to the
IPv6 routing scaling problem because in  practice
the  one router with the one set of RAM and CPU
resources will often be handling both IPv4  and
IPv6?

Wesley George suggested they are connected in this
way - and I don't recall this being  discussed
before.
 
Every now and then, there is another topic which are absolutely  non-issues 
for TARA:
 
Charging? No. No prefixes will be left for being charged.
Scalability wrt intra- AND inter-domain routing? Not a big deal for  TARA.
 
And now: Solution which services IPv4 as well as IPv6: Well, if  forwarding 
is based on a geo-location-ID being a table's offset, i.e.  without looking at 
the destination address, then that destination address may be  whatever it is: 
IPv4 or IPv6, it doesn't matter.
