Re: IPv4 outage at next IETF in Chicago

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <[e-mail]>]

Sometimes, is not IETF people fault, I will say most of the time.

We all are mandated, by corporate policy to use apps (that we don’t develop), which may still use IPv4 literals, older APIs, etc. Those will fail. The same that will fail if we live in a world with IPv6 only access networks for our offices or homes and don’t have dual-stack in our LAN with something to sort out the problems of those apps.

You want an example, just try skype with NAT64 … (unless they sorted it out already).

Some more (I found a table some time ago googling, but not sure where is it): Google Talk, Google+, Last.fm, Netflix, ooVoo, Pirates of the Caribean, Spofity, Tango, Texas Poker, …



Regards,
Jordi

    Franck, I try not to be religious about NAT, and I use NAT44 every day
    like most people. Also like most people, I experience occasional
    unexplained failures of web-based transactions. Whether they are due
    to a NAT garbage-collect or a load-balancer failure, I don't know,
    of course. But actually I am not deeply concerned about NAT64, although
    any failures that it generates would be very hard to identify. I am
    more concerned about IETF participants whose devices are not set up
    as dual stack nodes at all. They would be completely blocked. Yes,
    I know, such people should not exist, should be deeply ashamed, etc.
    But I don't see why we would cut them off to prove a point.
    
    Regards
       Brian
