NAT66 implementations exist, and you don't need anyone's permission to use them. But I think it would be more productive to pursue smarter ways to share a /64, than to modify packet headers in flight.
For most purposes, ND proxy is the new NAT.
- DanielDent 10y agoAnd there are actually some use cases where NAT66 may make sense (various multi-homing and re-numbering avoidance scenarios). I think the jury is still out. I think we'll see lots of NAT66, but for completely different reasons than we've seen v4 NAT. I do think those uses will tend to involve 1-to-1 prefix translation rather than many-to-1 mapping.
