IPv6 Buzz 105: IPv6 Transition Technology Design Considerations

In this episode, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about IPv6 transition technologies – especially NAT64/DNS64 – and what design considerations come into play when deploying them. Topics discussed include: * The most common transition technologies enterprises use * What is NAT64/DNS64 and what solution does it provide? * What are the sizing and performance considerations when using transition technologies like NAT64/DNS64? * Where do other transition technologies like SIIT, NPTv6, NAT66, SLB46/64/66 fit into the design picture?
