You are welcome to deploy it if you choose to. Part of the reason I'm arguing against it is that if everyone deploys it, then everyone has to deploy it. If it is seen as an alternative to IPv6 by some, then others' deployment of IPv6 is made less useful: network effect. Also, spending money on CGN seems misguided; if you agree that you're going to deploy IPv6 anyway, why spend the money for IPv6 *and also* for CGN? Lee
Suppose a provider fully deploys v6, they will still need CGN so long as they have customers who want to access the v4 internet.
Unfortunately, that may have the side effect of undercutting some portion of v6's value proposition, inversely related to its suckage.
