Re: Dual stack IPv6 for IPv4 depletion

OpenWrt has added support for many ipv6 and ipv4 methods as of their
chaos calmer release, so you can experiment with any of thousands of
home routers with:

6to4, 6in4, 6rd, dslite, hnetd, and dhcpv6 today.

As for 4inX methods, well, the code exists in many cases, but there is
still work to be done to make it easier to use, and bugs to find, and
squash.

Creating this in a test lab is mandatory for a successful migration. Tunnels behind a CPE and 4to6 NAT seem like 
bandaid fixes as they do not give the benefit of true end to end IPv6 connectivity in the sense of every device has a 
one to one global address mapping.

Seems that my initial thoughts of dual stack and v4 overloading using private addresses to ensure compatibility is 
the way to go. Any input on good, possibly application aware, CGN solutions? Maybe even some policy-based DHCP/NAT 
product?

In fact, I show just how to do this using a $99 Apple Airport
Express in my three-hour online course “Build your own IPv6 Lab”

An anectode about this, maybe out of date, maybe not. I was helping my
friend who likes Apple things connect to the local community
network. He wanted to use an Airport as his home gateway rather than
the router that we normally use. Turns out these things can *only* do
IPv6 with tunnels and cannot do IPv6 on PPPoE. Go figure. So there is
not exactly a clear path to native IPv6 for your lab this way.
