My experience is with a large dual-stack network that has several class B IPv4 networks. Router advertisements seem to be slow and unreliable, for one thing. Old protocols not supporting v6 are also an issue. Then there was the time when a user could mis-configure their Windows computer to turn it into a router that led to a dead end. Random network freezes were the result. What's to prevent a bad actor who managed to gain physical access from installing her own router and then siphon off traffic for their own ill deeds?
Multiple class B? Those are huge. BTW, address classes have been obsolete for decades. Now it's CIDR.
It's a big organization that's been around for a long time.
* avoid problems when the ipv4 pool is exhausted.
But that's why God invented NAT!
I thought NAT was a curse from the network gods.
With IPv6, the Internet works the way the it's supposed to, that is transparent end to end.
Unless you have only a /64. Please correct me if I'm wrong. IIRC you were around when I was wrestling with this a couple of years ago. Thanks for the effort! Regards, Lew
