A provider wants to advertise that it allows for IPv6 connectivity, but it does not have equipment in the access network that supports v6 natively. So it offers a v6 service that includes a CPE device that runs LISP, and some PETRs for those CPE's to use when accessing non-LISP sites. IPv6 packets sent from the hosts at the site are encapsulated in v4 and sent over the access network that does not support v6. There are a myriad of other possibilities here, including over-the-top service providers who offer PETR services. -Darrel
