Re: Carrier Grade NAT

The only actual residential data I can offer is my own. I am fully dual stack and about 40% of my traffic is IPv6. I am 
a netflix subscriber, but also an amazon prime member.

I will say that if amazon would get off the dime and support IPv6, it would make a significant difference. 

Other than amazon and my financial institutions and Kaiser, living without IPv4 wouldn't actually pose a hardship as 
near as I can tell from my day without v4 experiment on June 6. 

I know Kaiser is working on it. Amazon apparently recently hired Yuri Rich to work on their issues. So that would leave 
my financial institutions. 

I think we are probably less than 5 years from residential IPv4 becoming a service that carries a surcharge, if 
available.

2. IPv6 is nice (dual stack) but the internet without IPv4 is not a viable

Do you have IPv6 deployed and available to your entire customer base, so
that those who want to use it can do so?  To my way of thinking, CGNAT is
probably going to be the number one driver of IPv6 adoption amongst the
broad customer base, *as long as their ISP provides it*.

Add to that over half your traffic will switch to IPv6 as long as
the customer has a IPv6 capable CPE.  That's a lot less logging you
need to do from day 1.

That would be nice, but I’m not 100% convinced that it is true.

Though it will be an increasing percentage over time.

Definitely a good way of reducing the load on your CGN, with the additional benefit
that your network is part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

Being on the content provider side I don't know the actual percentages
in practice, but in the NANOG region you've got Google/Youtube, NetFlix,
Akamai & Facebook all having a significant amount of their services v6
native.

I'd be very surprised if these four together weren't a majority of any
consumer-facing network's traffic in peak times.
