Re: Maximum number of NAT users / sessions

I think of ISPs that have no plans to add IPv6 networks to their customers somewhat like those who use a 1998 Windows-95 computer. They will only upgrade when their stuff quits working. Same with IPv6 , there will always be ISPs & customers & web sites who will remain IPv4-only and will not ...

Re: Maximum number of NAT users / sessions

If there is no drop-dead date established , then there will always be those who continue to be IPv4 only. If you have traffic signs for miles indicating " Left lane closed ahead " but no cones blocking the left lane , there will always be those who stay in the left lane. IPv4 need to die w...
