Creating this in a test lab is mandatory for a successful migration. Tunnel=
s 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 priva=
te addresses to ensure compatibility is the way to go. Any input on good, p=
ossibly application aware, CGN solutions? Maybe even some policy-based DHCP=
/NAT product?
Thanks,
