If 50٪ of the servers and 50% of the clients can do IPv6, the amount of IPv6 traffic will be around 25% since both ends have to do IPv6. If you're running an IPv6 enabled server you'll see 50% of your traffic as IPv6 in the above scenario. Likewise, if you are on an IPv6 connected client, then

Hang on... So EzIP is now about using 240/4 as CGNAT space? Wait, I'm lost... With CGNAT, there is either public IP space in front of the gateway, or private space behind it. There is no such thing as "semi-private" space in the world of CGNAT, as devices with public IPs can't directly access
