Well, I think the sane solution would be to push customers/clients into IPv6 and keep services IPv4. Then start moving services to dualstack. Most of todays customers/clients are consumers. They just connect to server to get data, watch movies, listen to music. Gaming is similar. That way, ISPs could do NAT64 thingie to provide IPv6 -> IPv4 bridges. More IPv4 addresses would be freed for power users. After decade, IPv4 could be nearly gone. If only IPv6 would suck so badly... ;) ---------- Original message ---------- From: Delong.com via NANOG <nanog () nanog org> To: Matthew Petach <mpetach () netflight com> Cc: Geoff Huston <gih () apnic net>, Delong.com via NANOG <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: maximum ipv4 bgp prefix length of /24 ? Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 15:43:28 -0700 Im not sure that we never acknowledged it, but we did fail to address it, largely because I think we basically determined that its too hard. Theres really no way for a machine with a >32 bit address to feasibly/reliably talk to a machine that only understands 32-bit addresses short of involving some sort of intermediate proxy host doing some form of address translation. Weve actually got LOTS of those solutions deployed with varying levels of success/failure/idiosyncrasies. Ive spent a fair amount of time thinking about alternatives and admit that I, myself am stumped as to how one would go about this. Do you have a proposal for how this problem could have been/could be solved?
