IPv6 NAT

Why IPv6 NAT

  • Load Balancing
  • Multi-homing (Uplink Balance, Failover)

  • NAT is demanded by enterprises for multi-homing.
    Multi-homing is a situation that describes a single computer host that makes use of several IP addresses associated with various connected networks. Within this scenario, the multihomed computer host is physically linked to a variety of data connections or ports. These connections or ports may all be associated with the same network or with a variety of different networks. Depending on the exact configuration, multi-homing may allow a computer host to function as an IP router.













  • Dynamic IPv6 prefixes
