Some of the InternetServiceProvider are tending to run out of public IPv4 addresses. So they switched there low budget accounts from public IPv4 to private IPv4. But this requires a Carrier Grade NAT machine. These routers seem to be rather big and expensive. So is there a way for smaller ISP?
Does anybody now a usful page to read into the topic? Someone realized it for docsis users?
Thank you.
For a small MSO I would definitely check on AFTR / DS-Lite from ISC.org:
https://www.isc.org/downloads/aftr/
https://www.isc.org/downloads/lwds-lite/
Maybe another solution will be a NAT with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6598 RFC6598 with the IPv4 scope of 100.64.0.0/10. But this IPv4 Scope should just used if at the same time IPv6 will be offered to the customer.
Hello wittmann
thanks a lot for your answer. As I understood the cable cpe needs to support ds-lite. You ever heard the Cisco EPC3925 could make it?
I would save IPv4 addresses at low budget contracts. But what if these users only have bridgemodems?
A question about a cable gateway with private IPv4 address. How would I tell the cable router sending its IPv4 traffic to the AFTR? Is there something similar like the gateway option for ds-lite?
