If you're considering NAT64, look at Dual Stack Lite since it's more compatible.


I haven't read RFC6333 yet, so I don't grasp Dual Stack Lite, but could you provide some details on why you feel it's "more compatible"? Thanks!


IPv4-only hosts like Windows XP[1], game consoles, and all embedded devices don't work with NAT64. You can do some kind of NAT464, but that's kludgier than DS-Lite.

[1] Doesn't do DNS over IPv6, so can't operate in a IPv6-only environment.
