I don’t think NAT444 reduces cost even initially … You need to buy the boxes, you have more radio bandwidth used for the keep-alives, etc., even more power consumption.
It may be a case by case, for example if you existing network doesn’t support IPv6, or the majority of your uses doen’t have smartphones with IPv6 support, etc. Regards, Jordi -----Mensaje original----- De: Loganaden Velvindron <[email protected]> Responder a: IPv6 in Africa Discussions <[email protected]> Fecha: jueves, 2 de junio de 2016, 16:18 Para: IPv6 in Africa Discussions <[email protected]> Asunto: Re: [AfrIPv6-Discuss] «Preparing for IPv6-only mobile networks : why and how» >On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 11:27 AM, Mark Tinka <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> On 2/Jun/16 09:13, Willy MANGA wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> I guess some of you have already read that article but let me give you >>> the link: >>> >>> https://blogs.akamai.com/2016/06/preparing-for-ipv6-only-mobile-networks-why-and-how.html >>> >>> >>> So, can we really move forward guys ? :) >> >> In my experience, the economic incentive to keep NAT444 in mobile >> networks vs. going any kind of IPv6 is balanced more in favour of the >> former. >> >> I applaud folk like Apple using their market power to "force the issue". >> How mobile operators will react to that will be interesting, but it >> could make for a lot more impact of Android did the same. >> >> This one will be hard to predict, especially when a good portion of the >> capex budget of the typical large scale mobile operator goes to NAT444. >> > >Taking my AFRINIC hat off, > >Another horror story cooking up.
