[AusNOG] DS-Lite is IPv6-only from outside...

[Karl Auer]

Interesting problems some people have. This just showed up on the German
Gogo6 forum (loose translation by me):

   "I live in the border region of Germany, and the telcos like ignoring
us,
    but fibre has started to arrive - FTTH and FTTB. Great, I thought,
finally
    I'll get fast Internet (my old connection is 768Kbps, I'm lucky to
see
    90KB/s). Now we have 100Mb/s - but it's IPv6 only, with DS-Lite. I
run a
    NAS/fileserver, and all the people that want to get to it have only
IPv4,
    while I have only an IPv6 connection."

He's thought of setting up a dual-stack node somewhere and providing a
tunnel into his server. He's thought of running the gogo6 client in
reverse tunnelling mode. But the simple fact is that he has an IPv6 only
service, and lots of users that are IPv4-only. His problems will ease
with time - theirs will only get worse.

Kind of a case study in the problems of CGN from a home customer point
of view - at least one kind of home customer.

Regards, K.
