[ipv6-wg] IPv6 Implementation for an ISP

If you have enough IPv4 address space, the easiest way to do IPv6 is to 
go dual-stack (both IPv4 and IPv6 to every customer), and then work on 
the transition technologies.

Here's my "Learn IPv6 before lunch" reading list: 
https://www.retevia.net/recommended-reading-on-ipv6/

Here's a high-level guide for ISPs: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6782/

You may want to think about this as if your goal is run an IPv6-only 
access network, with translation to IPv4 at the edges where necessary. 
Let customers run dual-stack inside the home; so if a customer has 
devices in their home (alarm systems, smart TVs) that require IPv4, the 
home gateway can translate from IPv4 to IPv6, and if the destination is 
IPv4-only, you have a translator in your data center or peering point 
translating from IPv6 to IPv4.

Jordi like 464xlat, but I like MAP-T (or MAP-E). Dual-stack Lite is also 
an option. In all of those cases, the hardest part seems to be getting 
support in the CPE. Here's a very short description of each:

My experience is that most of your time will be spent working on your 
provisioning, monitoring, and support systems. Equipment generally 
supports IPv6, and you'll just have to read the manuals to find the 
right commands.
