My primary interest is in the fixed line deployments of the wireless stuff that can only work outdoors - not the phones.
I know of multiple providers planning to replace dsl with 5G but have no idea how they plan to do it. I figure CGNAT factors in a lot.
Are people going to get a /48? Static or dynamic?
There is nothing in 3GPP standards that stops DHCPv6-PD to work from what I know.
How will ipv4 be delivered?
3GPP standardised single stack IPv4 / IPv6 and dual stack back in the 2000:ds, and DHCPv6-PD entered the standards back in 2012. I haven't heard anything about this changing. I have also no implementation report of DHCPv6-PD, but I've been out of that business for a long time.
Can they buy a real IPv4 address for their business?
This has nothing to do with "5G" but are all market decisions by the operator in question. 3GPP doesn't decide that. They don't have a "protocol police" either.
Any pointers to public documents on how it's intended to work with ipv6 would be welcomed, and if this is a question covered by this group before, please steer me in the right directions.
Since 5G initially will be 4G with faster radio, I presume the rest of 4G still applies. So RFC 7849, 6459 and 7066. They contain links to 3GPP documents such as 23.401. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
