I don't even know why you would want IPv6. It doesn't seem to buy you anything that you don't already have with IPv4/NAT. I was merely countering your assertion that NAT is required to prevent unique-local routing topology from being exposed to exterior domains. It isn't, as the example of RSIP demonstrates. Concerns about reachability and stateful flow tracking can be handled orthogonally with things like I-D.ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security. Look, I'm not trying to persuade you that you shouldn't use NAT at your borders-- indeed, as I said before, your plan to stay IPv4-only on local networks and to rely on NAT46 gateways to communicate with exterior IPv6 networks is a perfectly reasonable one. You should go do that. It sounds to me like the optimal solution for you. -- james woodyatt <[email protected]> member of technical staff, communications engineering _______________________________________________ nat66 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nat66
