Sincere apologies if this e-mail is inappropriate for this audience,
We are (going to be) a startup ISP building a new network from the ground u=
p. I was hoping I could get an opinion, or two, on how everyone feels about=
464XLAT. I saw what everyone was saying about it in the 'Android doesn't s=
upport DHCPv6' discussion, but what about in the wireline side of things? T=
he main reason we are even considering 464XLAT as opposed to dual-stack (th=
e latter is, in my ignorant opinion, the better option.) is the fear of IPv=
4 depletion that we think might hit ARIN between now and the start of next =
year; causing us to pay a premium for IPv4 in the gray market. So I guess t=
he real question here would be: is our fear real, or is it just bug on the =
wall? If our fear is real, what should we implement so that our users can s=
till get to the v4 internet, are we even thinking soberly by suggesting 464=
XLAT?
Thanks,
- Nich
