My AT&T cell phone has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.  The IPv4 address
is from my access point; the IPv6 address appears to be a public address.

My AT&T cellphone (via MVNO Tracfone) has a 10/8 IPv4 address and IPv6 address 2600:380:28be:8b34:2504:2096:6ac7:6262. But when I connect to a web site that reports the connecting address, it says I'm 2600:387:a:9a2::8.

What's going on there? Those are both within at&t's 2600:300::/24', but am I behind a NAT66? An aggressive web cache?
