Have there been studies on how much latency CGN adds to a typical

Anecdote. Sub-millasecond, with full load. (gigs and gigs) . CGN does
not
meaningfully add latency. CGN is not enough of a factor to impact
happy
eyeballs in a way that improves ipv6 use.

I've seen theoretical predictions but by now we should have
measurements from early-world deployments.


Most mobile providers have been doing what is commonly called cgn for
5 to
10 years. CGN is not a new concept or implementation for mobile.


True, but, as we have discussed before, mobile users, especially in the
US,
have dramatically lowered expectations of internet access from their
mobile
devices vs. what they expect from a household ISP.

We expect half the services we want to be crippled by mobile carriers
because
they don't like competition. We file lawsuits when that happens on our
terrestrial connections.

Except now you have to do mediation, since class action lawsuits are now null and void. :)
