CDP was in widespread use in germany.

That is a bit of a corner case.
Many ISPs do not offer public IPv4 addresses any more.
You get DS-Lite meaning public IPv6 and private IPv4.
In that light it makes much sense to have a solution for it.

Actually Belgium is at the top of the IPv6 usage, as a Belgian colleague of 
mine always reminds me ;)

CU, Ricsi
