I've been researching solutions with NAT and double NAT in mind because it's obvious that v4 space is going to become a growing problem.
We've started playing with Stateful NAT64 on a couple of Cisco ASR1006's. In general, it works okay, save for issues with applications that have no IPv6 support, e.g., Skype, e.t.c. We hope to find more issues as more customers sign up to be guinea pigs.
The only thing that is really clear is the lack of clarity.
Indeed. We're doing what we can to be part of the solution, by picking technologies we think will be useful for us and going out and testing them at scale, with a goal to start rolling out v6 in droves as well provide usable operator feedback re: our deployment to vendors and other operators alike. As much as we'd like to see how the market unravels re: v4, e.t.c., the fact remains that v6 is the inevitable solution. So best to get cracking now with real deployments. Mark.
