DualStack (CGNAT) vs Other Transition methods

Wed Feb 24 13:28:18 UTC 2021

P.S.: Forking thread from CGNAT.

Hello Jordi!

Since our last heated talk about transitions methods(Rosario, 2018?), I
must recognize that the intolerance to other scenarios other than
dual-stack had reduced(mostly because of improvements on the applications
in generral). I'm even considering the possibility of using 464Xlat on some
scenarios.

But I'm still, as it was in 2018, primarily concerned to avoid end-user
support tickets.

And I'm still hooked on some specific issues... For example:
- SIP/Voip Applications, that almost all the providers do not work
correctly on when those streams and connections pass over some v6 only
paths.
- Applications with some source-based restrictions(some Internet Banking,
some Compan-VPNs).
- Games (this is the champion of support tickets).

For that, with 464Xlat we still keep in pain...
But using DualStack with Good Quality CGNAT, the support tickets statistics
are reduced to less than 5%.

So, the question here is:
How not use Dual-Stack and keep the support tickets as low as possible?

* "Good Quality CGNAT" means:
 - OBVIOUSLY have an extensive, deep, and GOOD deployment of IPv6(to avoid
as much as possible the use of IPv4)
 - Good rules of CGNAT By-Pass (Ex.: Traffic between customers and Internal
Servers don't need to be NATed.)
 - CGNAT with support to PCP, UPnP, and NAT-Algs. Preferably BPA - Bulk
Port Allocation.
