I think that "something critical" has just come along with drastically changed usage patterns for private internet access as many people now are working from home. Interactive work probably puts a lot more stress on CGN gateways than streaming videos, even if the amount of traffic is much lower. If someone who runs CGN gateways could do a presentation on that then I would like to see it. Maybe we could also discuss recommendations for a way forward. Some things that come to mind: - access providers that already operate dual stack networks but by default only provide IPv4 to customers could move their default to dual stack - access providers that already operate dual stack networks but only for private users (usually with DSLite or similar) and hand IPv4 only to their business customers could offer dual stack for the latter - website operators who are on dual stack systems should make sure that they publish AAAA records in DNS. I see this on our network: while almost all newer websites are on IPv6-only VMs (we charge extra for IPv4), many of the customers on the older dual stack systems don't bother to publish AAAA records. - networks that still offer legacy-IP only should consider to join the Internet :-) Greetings, Wolfgang
