Most of the traffic in mobile operator networks I'm aware of is IPv6 to IPv6, for very obvious reason - people watching youtube, facebook et al, and they are IPv6 enabled for over 10+ years. Of course one need to provide IPv4 reach-ability as well, details are varies from network to network, 464XLAT is being a popular one.
- ianburrell 3y agoThe big reason mobile networks use IPv6 is that they are new and don't have the IPv4 allocations of legacy providers. They could have gone CGNAT, but IPv6 with 464XLAT is better. Mobile networks are easier to use IPv6 than home networks since there is no customer gateway to worry about and 464XLAT software is included on device.
