IPv6 adoption is accelerating. All the major content providers and transit providers are dual stack.
The weak link seems to be consumer routers. I had to buy 3 that all said “IPv6” on the box to get one that actually did dual stack correctly out of the box. * The first one did IPv6 on the WAN interface, but didn’t distribute a V6 address to the LAN….so what good is that exactly? No idea. * The second one only supported the 6RD “Rapid Deployment” model of IPv6. If you were going to pick just one mode to implement in a router why would you pick that one over dual stack? The third one worked fine. So 1 for 3. And I was specifically looking for ones that said IPv6 on the package. So many routers come with IPv6 disabled, broken, or only with a weird partial implementation. If the SOHO router vendors get with the program then CGNAT will become a secondary function. Until then, yes, keep gloating Sir.

Our new owners are a Juniper shop, but the Juniper CG-NAT solution was so expensive they went with A10 Networks for that function. Without licenses (and I think a feature card) the Juniper MX would only do 1:1 static NAT. It was cheaper to buy an A10 appliance than to get the licenses and such for Juniper MX. I don’t like A10. They’re weird. But we set them up once and never touch them again. They’re still not cheap, probably an order of magnitude more than Mikrotik, but they’re also an order of magnitude cheaper than implementing CG-NAT on the Juniper MX. I’d imagine Cisco will be in the same ballpark as Juniper, but I don’t know.

I’ll answer you and Carl here, same question. We have funding now from our parent company STRATA Networks, and they use Calix by the thousands, so being a Calix shop makes it easy on us in terms of everything. There doesn’t seem to be a mid-road XGSPON, maybe UI? I don’t know. TIBIT is like the least expensive but the hardest to get spun up. We had the resources to figure TIBIT out (eventually) and run with it before we finished a deal with the parent company. Calix is just on a whole other level, especially when we buy in to all the cool aid they are selling (parent company uses a lot/most of their feature set). So that is our new directive and big push. Along with that incidentally is the push to migrate from TPLink Deco managed router platform to Calix (again, the Gigaspire hardware and cool aid platform including marketing insights). So we have a short term project to migrate off of all of our TIBIT, mostly because it’s not manageable or able to be monitored from external systems. Calix integrates directly with Sonar v2 which is nice as well. So at some point we’ll have migrated our entire access network and managed routers to Calix. Still running Mikroitk core and edge routers, and customer facing CGNAT until we are absolutely so flush with cash that we just purchase the Cisco platform to do the central heavy lifting and just transport the whole load of Calix based E7 stuff back “home” to Cisco like our parent company does. More than you asked, but we are essentially converting wholesale from an Active Ethernet network to XGSPON/Calix and hope to eventually retire most of our power hungry switches, and even most of the Mikrotik.

See the pics I posted above. Just need to extend the SFP+ cage out of a Siklu radio. The alternative is to add another little switch but that adds complexity to what is a simple design. PON hanging off a Siklu for a small apartment building. Only thing active is the Siklu and the "SFP". One cyber power 48V battery backup to power the silku. If you add a switch, how are you powering it, where is it mounted, etc. On the note of adding a switch. Has anyone used the CRS305-1G-4S+IN? Anyone have a contact at Mikrotiik who could find out the SFP+ port's power budget?

The description on the linked item says it’s so you can put your electronics into immersed liquid cooling without exposing your optics to the liquid. Pretty esoteric stuff. Not understanding the use case, but assuming there’s a reason you can’t extend the fiber a few feet with a jumper and mating sleeve, then how about use a DAC to reach another switch?
