Pros and Cons of IPv6 Transition Technologies for IPv4-as-a-Service
RFC 9313, “Pros and Cons of IPv6 Transition Technologies for IPv4-as-a-Service”, is an Informational document published in October 2022 by G. Lencse, J. Palet Martinez, L. Howard, R. Patterson, I. Farrer. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Several IPv6 transition technologies have been developed to provide customers with IPv4-as-a-Service (IPv4aaS) for ISPs with an IPv6-only access and/or core network. These technologies have their advantages and disadvantages. Depending on existing topology, skills, strategy, and other preferences, one of these technologies may be the most appropriate solution for a network operator.
This document examines the five most prominent IPv4aaS technologies and considers a number of different aspects to provide network operators with an easy-to-use reference to assist in selecting the technology that best suits their needs.
