FWIW, large-ish ISP here, originally an ipv4-only shop. A few years back we overhauled everything and naively tried to go all ipv6, since we owned the data/voice terminals and set top boxes. Didn´t quite work out that way, and wound up spending gobs of money on CGNAT ... but our most demanding customers really appreciate the reduction in latency they get when using ipv6 and skipping that extra processing layer. As usual, YMMV... jlr On Tue, Apr 5, 2022 at 8:35 AM Joe Maimon <jmai...@jmaimon.com> wrote: (snip) > Increasing NAT, IPv4 re-use, IPv6 is likely to push the point away from > Network-Address-as-Customer-Identity from being the service provider's > responsibility. > > Joe >
