Hello Richard,

On Sunday January 08 2017 11:45, you wrote to me:

Here the ISP that issues DS-Lite to new customers, offers the option of IPv4 only for customers that need a public IPv4 address.But that can't be a long term solution of course.

I might be willing to pay EUR 1 a month for a public IPv4 address. At least for the time being. I would hope that in a couple of years, IPv6 will be the dominant protocol and I would no longer need IPv4. But I fear this will take some more time...

OTOH, when having the choice, I might try DS-Lite and see how it works for me...

 RM>  At the moment they do not have either of those options.

I wonder if PCP is really a viable solution.  Only one client sharing the same IPv4 address can have port 24554 forwarded. Which may not be a problem in case of port 24554, but hwat about the more popular ports? 80 or 25?

So if you had the choice of accepting DS-Lite and paying an extra EUR 2 a month, you'd accept DS-Lite?


Cheers, Michiel
