That makes sense. The majority of clients will never even know they are behind CGNAT. Only offering a globally routable IPv4 address to those who ask for it - and so by implication know what they ask for - can save a lot of IPv4 address space. I could live with it.

 RM> But still not a very wise move to completely ignore IPv6 ...

It would be a show stopper for me..


Cheers, Michiel
