A Case for Full 464XLAT Implementation in Mikrotik RouterOS In an era of accelerating IPv4 address exhaustion, the transition to IPv6 is no longer a distant prospect but a present-day necessity for network operators worldwide. While Mikrotik's RouterOS has long been a favorite for its flexibility an…

+1, please add any sort of IPv6 transition mechanism.

+1, especially proper NAT64 in RouterOS for the PLAT function.

Bump! IPv6 and NAT - how I changed my mind ← waiting since 2016 NAT64 and DNS64 ← waiting since 2010

Please, a general implementation of Tayga or Jool built into routeros would be huge, both the CLAT component and for other variations for implementing ‘duel stack the edge where you must support legacy IP single stack the core’

Somebody posted about getting a Tayga container working on RouterOS. [image] Tayga NAT64 Official Support for RouterOS General Tayga v0.9.6 has been released, and with it comes a NAT64 container image tested to work with RouterOS! There’s a speed-run guide yo…

Which is interesting for sure and I’ll try it out. Still, official support would be really nice.

It’s great that there are NAT64 “Work Arounds” and I hope that is useful at scale. CLAT support (including UI) would be aweseome, and Jool as a PLAT on big hardware is even better. The problem will be CPU resources, for sure, as thit is protocol translation. Router/OS on big bare metal maybe?

@ductview I love your take on this — ipv6 and ipv4 co-exist, that’s a feature! Alas, I’m also planning for when ipv4 is too expensive or not available. Still, I’m sitting on 95% of flows in and out of my network are ipv6. Just need a little nudge to offload the other 5%.
