How to force rapid ipv6 adoption

Fri Oct 2 16:35:03 UTC 2015

Unfortunately, the files at the NANOG links you posted are not available,
but I think I get the premise of them from their summaries and what you're
trying to say - thank you for linking.

The discussion about CGN maintenance versus IPv6 adoption is important at
the NANOG level because of exactly what (I think) you're trying to say, and
the only contribution I have to that is that "we need more IPv6-capable
NetOps and vendors" - I suspect we all know this.

It makes me curious about the churn rate between ISPs, but that's a
different topic and everything you've said is spot on.

What seems really important/would be progressive at the moment is that
vendors release IPv6-capable "plug and play" gear.

Is there any vendor that's currently working on a home router that provides
*only* IPv6 internally, with NAT64 IPv6->IPv4?

If we wanted to really get this started, that (and a bunch of articles
about "use this router to get IPv6 in your house") sounds like it could be
really productive.

Additionally, is it possible for ISPs to offer IPv6 transit-exclusive plans
for people that would like to get just that?

Maybe with the ability to have all ports open from the get-go as an
incentive?
