Re: DualStack (CGNAT) vs Other Transition methods

Well then use one of the encapsulating IPv4AAS mechanisms rather than 464XLAT (DS-Lite, MAP-E). They don’t involve 
translating the payload between IPv4 and IPv6.  That said what you are reporting below are implementation bugs.  Did 
you report them to the vendor?  Did you install the fix?  Rewriting is required as you may have native IPv6 clients 
rather than clients behind a CLAT on the customer side.
