I'm assuming no consideration for using RFC-6598 addresses (100.64.0.0/10) and performing CGN as a bridge, perhaps via LW4o6 On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 12:31 PM Randy Carpenter <rcarpen () network1 net> wrote:
It would have been nice if Verizon had starting issuing IPv6 while still issuing IPv4 for an easy transition. The current situation is that you can't get static IPv6 at all. I have been bugging them about this for many years. thanks, -Randy ----- On Mar 8, 2017, at 12:16 PM, David Hubbard dhubbard () dino hostasaurus com wrote:Thought the list would find this interesting. Just received an emailfrom VZwireless that they’re going to stop selling static IPv4 for wireless subscribers in June. That should make for some interesting supportcalls onthe broadband/fios side; one half of the company is forcing ipv6, theothercan’t provide it. At least now we have a big name forcing the issuethough.David Here’s complete text: On June 30, 2017, Verizon will stop issuing new Public Static IPv4addresses dueto a shortage of available addresses. Customers that currently haveactivePublic Static IPv4 addresses will retain those addresses, and Verizonwillcontinue to fully support existing Public Static IPv4 addresses. Inorder toreserve new IP addresses, your company will need to convert to thePersistentPrefix IPv6 requirements and implement new Verizon-certified IPv6devices.Why should you make the move to Persistent Prefix IPv6? • Unlike IPv4, which is limited to a 32-bit prefix, Persistent Prefix IPv6has128-bit addressing scheme, which aligns to current internationalagreements andstandards. • Persistent Prefix IPv6 will provide the device with an IP address uniqueto thatdevice that will remain with that device until the address isrelinquished bythe user (i.e., when the user moves the device off the Verizon Wireless network). • IPv4-only devices are not compatible with Persistent Prefix IPv6addresses.
