Which is what ISP are doing with 464XLAT deployments. IPv6-mostly networking and IPv4-as-a-service are things that are happening in real world right now.
- kalleboo 6mo agoYeah in Japan my ISP even lets me choose which IPv4 provider I want to use, as the fiber network is IPv6-native and IPv4 is "just another service" like IPTV.
- lxgr 6mo agoWow, that’s very cool! Do you know how that works? Do they just connect you to a NAT64 gateway of your choice?
- kalleboo 6mo agoIPv4 is provided using DS-Lite or MAP-E depending on the provider. I'm using OpenWRT and paid for a static IP so I had to manually configure all the details for the MAP-E tunnel in OpenWRT myself, I think typically the routers sold to consumers pick up the configuration automatically somehow.
- usui 6mo agoWhich provider are you using? I'm curious about this since there are not many OpenWrt guides for getting connected in Japan. Is your config similar to this write-up? https://github.com/fakemanhk/openwrt-jp-ipoe https://github.com/fakemanhk/openwrt-jp-ipoe I didn't need to do any configuration for DS-Lite or MAP-E, as DHCPv6 with a configured prefix got IPv6 working, although DNS is still broken when turning off IPv4 entirely.
- kalleboo 6mo agoI'm using en hikari on Flets Cross (10 gigabit) with v6plus. I set it up like 2 years ago but this was in my bookmarks: https://zenn.dev/ebi68k/articles/6df7cfec64c281 https://zenn.dev/ebi68k/articles/6df7cfec64c281 edit: looking this all up again to refresh my memory, it looks like with my static IP the provider switches from using their default MAP-E to using RFC2473 directly instead, the configuration matches "IPIP" in this guide https://qiita.com/kouhei-ioroi/items/cf0c6228c5c1faef415a https://qiita.com/kouhei-ioroi/items/cf0c6228c5c1faef415a
- lxgr 6mo agoWoah, MAP-E allows static v4 (and presumably inbound connections)? That seems neat and much better than DS-Lite!
- kalleboo 6mo agoI'm re-learning this right now since I kind of just set it and forgot it 2 years ago but while my provider typically uses MAP-E it looks like when you use a static IP it switches to using RFC2473 (IPIP6) directly without the extra port mapping that MAP-E adds ontop
