Re: Dual stack IPv6 for IPv4 depletion

[Josh Moore <jmoore () atcnetworks net>]

Creating this in a test lab is mandatory for a successful migration. Tunnels behind a CPE and 4to6 NAT seem like 
bandaid fixes as they do not give the benefit of true end to end IPv6 connectivity in the sense of every device has a 
one to one global address mapping.

Seems that my initial thoughts of dual stack and v4 overloading using private addresses to ensure compatibility is the 
way to go. Any input on good, possibly application aware, CGN solutions? Maybe even some policy-based DHCP/NAT product?
