[AusNOG] CGN limits

[John Edwards]

NAT doesn't have to be limited to 64Ki sessions per IP.

It's also possible to use the original destination IP as an identifier in
the translation. This raises the limit to millions of sessions, or 64K per
destination port/IP combo.

I've seen 270K simultaneous translations running through a single IP on
commodity hardware. Not pretty, but it worked.

  A /22 gives 1022 usable IPv4 address



CGN @ 1000 ports (64K per IP not using the well know ports) per user give
65408 subscribers – so is a /22 really that useless? I think not.



Note 1000 ports seems to be a safe number that we at A10 have used.
However in some GEOs we have used as low as 100 ports per user (due the
whole county having next to no IPv4 space)



Yes the world as a whole should move to IPv6 – I think everybody agrees
with that.



I see the process as;

Use CGN where it makes sense

Dual Stack

Use DS Lite, 6RD and MAP-E/I where you can (keeping in mind you need CPE’s
that can support that)

Native IPv6



Will we be keeping and supporting IPv4 for a VERY long time in my opinion.

Actually, I think the theory is that with a /22, a new entrant can use
CGNAT and oversubscribe it 100:1 or whatever ratio turns out to be optimum
and support a significant number of subscribers, without having to have a
larger range at all.
It might work if you pick your target customers carefully.
