Device counting has always been possible with IPv4 routers, and yet I don't know of a single ISP which does this.
To be clear, I'm talking of ISP-provided (usually wifi) routers, which at least in my country are extremely common. Those could receive an IPv6 prefix and do DHCPv6 inside your own network.
- p1mrx 3y agoThe concept of an IPv4 NAT router exists today because people in the '90s wanted to connect multiple devices without permission from their ISP. SLAAC lets you extend a network without permission using ND Proxy, whereas DHCPv6 IA_NA can only be extended using NAT. So I think SLAAC is good because ND Proxy is less evil than NAT.
