[AusNOG] Telstra run out of IPv4 - goes CGNAT

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

I am surprised no one talked about this yesterday

http://www.itnews.com.au/News/401918,telstra-runs-out-of-ipv4-addresses.aspx

This is something I have been saying will happen for a long time now, but
forgetting about the Data Retention issue and talking about the CGNAT one,
I would be interested to see how many ISPs in Australia are running CGNAT
and if they would share their experiences with the rest of us.

Does anyone think this large scale rollout of CGNAT will have a backlash
from users? or will no one even notice?

I know of a couple of ISPs running the A10 vThunder CGN boxes, and I am
indeed running them on a few ISPs... and for small ISPs they are
excellent.  Good price, great performance, easy to manage.  We've also not
had a single customer ever complain about things not working.

I'd be interested also to hear of other vendor solutions being deployed out
there, how they are working and deal with the common problems, how they
scale and most importantly (for me) is the price point and are they
appropriate for small (sub 10k) ISPs.
