OPEX and CAPEX costs are significantly reduced with native IPv6 vs large NAT deployments. Adding layers to stretch IPv4 = complexity/gear. Gear/complexity = higher costs.
And if you're already moving away from perimeter defense, to more identity based zero-trust, the move to IPv6 makes much sense.
- everdrive 4y agoPeople are doing “zero trust” about as well as they’re doing agile. The concept may be real, but businesses’ implantations are not.
- ianburrell 4y agoIt is unfortunate that businesses are behind in rolling out IPv6. I get the impression that IPv6-only is more doable and has more advantages for business. It is feasible to run NAT64 in business cause don't have to support as much old software like games that people want to play. It helps with internal addressing issues which get complicated in big companies with acquisitions. Finally, it adds a security barrier between IPv4 for external and IPv6 for internal. But upgrading a working network is lots of trouble. Most existing businesses have plenty of public IPv4 addresses and don't have to conserve.
