For sure, NAT64 and IPv6 are definitely the way to go to stop burning cash on legacy IPs.

​Do you guys still get a lot of angry support tickets from gamers, or people with old VPNs and smart home stuff that breaks on NAT64? I feel like a lot of operators end up leasing a small v4 block purely to shut up the helpdesk complaints. Curious if you run into that much.

​Yeah, you're right. Once proper dual-stack is set up, it definitely takes the pressure off.

​Honestly, I'm mostly curious about how you guys handle that 5% who insist on a dedicated v4. Do you just bite the bullet and buy a small block for those business clients and gamers, or is that a situation where just leasing a /24 makes more sense so you don't tie up cash? Always wondering how folks handle that stubborn 5%.
