IPv6 Buzz 065: Understanding Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) And IPv6

In this week’s episode, Ed and Tom talk discuss the impact that service provider deployment of Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) has had on the overall adoption of IPv6. Our guests are Kevin Myers and Nick Russo. Kevin and Nick have both worked with CGN and IPv6, and Nick is designing an IPv6 training course on Pluralsight. Topics discussed include: * What is CGN and how is it deployed in service provider networks today? How has CGN deployment changed over time? * Is CGN a technology that should be included in IPv6 training? * What have historically been CGN’s biggest liabilities? What issues still exist for it? * Should CGN and IPv6 coexist? Thanks for listening!
