My main problem with IPv6-only on local networks is static IP assignment. With NAT (IPv4 or IPv6) I could assign my own addresses to devices, which could remain the same forever even when changing ISPs. This is not possible when using IPv6 GUAs via PD.
- Volundr 2y agoCan't you use ULA addresses for this?
- derkades 2y agoYes, I could assign every device a ULA with NAT. That would defeat a major selling point of IPv6. An alternative would be to assign both a GUA and ULA to every device, via DHCPv6 and SLAAC. However, not all devices support this. For example Android doesn't support DHCPv6 and NetworkManager doesn't seem to support multiple auto configuration methods
