My talk “Carrier Grade NAT – Observations and Recommendations<\/strong><\/em>” was given as part of the “IPv6 Transition and IPv6 in the Home<\/em>” Track on day 3 of the Summit. In it, I cover as much of our work here at CableLabs around CGN\/LSN that I could squeeze into 45 minutes. I start with a brief overview of what NAT and CGN\/LSN are and how they work. Then I report on the testing that CableLabs has conducted on CGN\/LSN over the past two plus years, and on the challenges we’ve discovered. Next I cover many of the workarounds, mitigations and potential solutions to those challenges, including some novel ideas invented at CableLabs. I wrapped up my talk with some conclusions and parting recommendations. Enough of me yammering though – the slides should give you a decent understanding of what I presented:
