In the control plane, all devices need to be remotely
managed, so NAT isn’t going to help us, nor is federated
Net 10 islands…
IPv6 is the clear solution for us.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoSo they are managing devices inband as Sir Humphrey might say a "How very courageous"
- X-Istence 11y agoThe devices are set top boxes, modems and more. Those devices only have a single plug that plugs them into the network, technically it is all inband. It's only separated in that your cable modem gets a non-routable IPv6 address. It's non-routable within the internet but is a stock standard globally unique IP address. This is used for management purposes.
