[ipv6-wg] Its that time of the year...

Hi Yannis,

Taking advantage of your email and IPv4aaS transition mechanisms ...

I will remind all that you should keep insisting your CE vendors to make sure to comply with RFC8585.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8585/

One more related document (finally published this week) is RFC8683:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8683/

    ...when we're starting to deploy yet another IPv6-only technology :)
    
    Hello all,
    
    as a fairly large ISP (for Greek standards at least), we've been 
    affected by IPv4 exhaustion for quite some time now. A few years back we 
    gave LW4o6 a go, as documented here 
    https://ripe76.ripe.net/presentations/11-lw4o6-deployment-as6799.pdf . 
    In the end, it did not work out very well. Quoting myself (from v6ops 
    mailing list), the reasons behind that were:
    "In no particular order:
    
    1. CPE (almost OK after ~2 years and god knows how many iterations)
    2. lwaftr performance (worth noting the the lwaftr is implemented as a VNF
    3. vendor's reluctance to continue (much needed) dev/ment because of 
    *lack of interest from other ISPs* "
    
    Please take extra note of (3).
    
    In any case, being the optimists we are, and having supportive mgmt, we 
    decided (once more) against burying ourselves deeper into CGN. This time 
    we're going with MAP-E (which incidentally was our first choice), mainly 
    because we understand it and our MAP BR vendor does too :) .
    
    So, as I already mentioned, we're just about to deploy it commercially. 
    We've tested with 2 CPE vendors sucessfully and we're just ironing out 
    some provisioning details before launching. Deployment will be gradual 
    of course and very very cautious.
    
    Unofficially, we are aware of a couple of similar trials from other ISPs 
    and we'd love to hear about people who have already deployed such 
    technologies (IPv6-only with IPv4aas) or are thinking about doing so. 
    After all, that is exactly what this WG is about :)
    
    thanks for reading,
    Yannis
