hell will freeze before that happens.
This is the bread and butter of ISP. Without NAT they lose too many revenue sources.
They will hold to their NATs forever, claiming something like user security. While pushing for IPv6 to reduce their operating costs (those IPv4 costs add up)
- wmf 6y agoThe majority of IPv6-capable ISPs are using prefix delegation to allow NAT-free operation. Heck, even phones are getting prefixes.
- detaro 6y agoWhich ISPs do deploy/force NAT with IPv6? (I don't trust the industry enough to say there are none, but it'd be highly unusual)
- martyvis 6y agoWhat revenue sources does an ISP get for having NAT? In Australia, you pay retail ISPs to provide backhaul from the national broadband provider. I pay $10 per month extra for a fixed public IPv4 address, the public /64 for IPv6 comes free. That's it.
