I don't quite follow what you are saying. Are you expecting Teredo to
be perishable in the sense that after a fixed amount of time (say 1
year), it will no longer be needed and the allocation can be returned?
Or is this a more open-ended "when IPv6 is widely deployed, teredo
won't be needed anymore because everyone will be using native IPv6
techniques"? (which doesn't have a predictable end date.)

I'd like to understand if there is a clear timetable for when the
experiment ends and if there is a definitie way to end the experiment
once it starts.
