That is, if I switch to IPv6 on my eyeball network, how much of my existing
traffic will I have to CGNAT in some way to reach the IPv4-only network?


At NDSU we see between 55% and 65% of inbound traffic is IPv6.

So if you are sizing your CGNAT box based on bandwidth it can be about half the 
size if you have IPv6 enabled everywhere.

If you are sizing your CGNAT box based on flows/sessions rather than bandwidth 
the split is still about 50% for us.

We have had IPv6 enabled on our entire campus network including wireless since 
2008.
