IPv6 Buzz 056: What’s The Deal With NAT64?

In this week’s IPv6 Buzz episode, Ed and Tom speak with Sander Steffann to get his expert take on the importance of NAT64 as an IPv6 transition technology. We also delve into his critical IPv6 efforts with the European Regional Internet Registry (RIPE).
Sander is a veteran IPv6 expert and consultant, IPv6 community leader and speaker, and long-time RIPE contributor. He’s also a co-founder and board member of the Global NOG Alliance.
Topics discussed include:

* Using NAT64 as a critical transition solution
* Typical problems with NAT64 deployments
* How NAT64 differs from translation technologies such as 464XLAT, and its role in the future of IPv6
* RIPE’s role in the successful promotion of IPv6 in Europe and globally
* The most operationally useful IPv6 documentation RIPE and Sander, et al have produced
