3. Motivation and Uniqueness of 464XLAT

The list below describes the motivation for 464XLAT and its unique characteristics.

  • 464XLAT has minimal IPv4 resource requirements and maximum IPv4 efficiency through statistical multiplexing.

  • No new protocols are required; there is quick deployment.

  • IPv6-only networks are simpler and therefore less expensive to operate than dual-stack networks.

  • 464XLAT has consistent native IP-based monitoring and traffic engineering. Capacity-planning techniques can be applied without the indirection or obfuscation of a tunnel.
