IPv6 for some ISPs will be extraordinarily painful because of legacy layer 2 gear
I don't feel sorry for them. We know that IPv6 is coming for how long? 15years? 10year? 5years? Well if you only read the mainstream media you should have read something about this new Internet thing about two years ago. And still many people fear IPv6 or think the can still wait for another couple of years.
For ISPs in this circumstance the choice will be CGNAT rather than IPv6 for a number of years because the cost is much lower and according to the vendors selling CGNAT solutions the impact to end users is (almost) unnoticeable.
Cost's might be lower but service will be worse. NAT breaks a lot of applications file sharing will not work properly and running your own web server at home will not work properly. Well you always get what you pay for and people will buy any crap if it is cheap enough.
