And we wouldn't need any of that if we implemented IPv6.

I don't know about that. Technically it wouldn't be necessary but I can see providers limiting you to a single IP instead of a /64 and needing to do it anyway, because the tech exists anyway. Or for privacy reasons. There is IPv6 NAT, after all...

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago

Most ISPs offer IPv6 right now, and they tend to hand out at least a /64. Often as much as a /54.

RIPE strongly discourages ISPs from handing out prefixes longer than /56: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690/

I don't see carrier grade NAT ever being used for IPv6. The extra equipment for that makes the network more expensive, less reliable, and introduces extra latency.

One thing ISPs are doing is still handing out dynamically assigned prefixes rather than static. Self hosting is still going to be a pain.

In an ideal world, sure.
