The main reason why NAT64 was developed is that in some scenarios it looked like it would save money for budget-constrained organizations of various kinds. Typically these are sites who need various types specialized equipment that is designed to be super-reliable and is insanely expensive to replace. Some of these sites are now facing the requirement to run IPv6 while they also have significant amounts of equipment that needs to be kept running for a hard to determine number of years more even though it is old enough that the manufacturers have declined to offer upgrades that would enable the devices to support IPv6. - Peter -- Peter N.
