Ed, Tom, and Scott discuss IPv6 in the service provider space with Jeff Doyle.

Jeff’s 40-plus year career in IT includes nine years with Juniper Networks, co-founding the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force, and authoring the Cisco Press classics Routing TCP/IP Volume 1 & Volume 2.

What is Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) – aka Large Scale NAT (LSN) and how commonly is it deployed among service providers?
How can CGN negatively impact subscribers?
How do service provider requirements differ from enterprise where IPv6 is concerned?
How to tell when IPv6 transition technologies are successful (and when they are not)
