Earlier in this thread I'd asked: "How is ipv6 going to work over 5G"? and got no replies. Anyone? All I know is the 3gpp working groups have been participating in ietf a bit, and we're "in a race" to 5G, currently controversial due to huewei being so far ahead on it than everyone else and controlled by the chinese PLA. 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? How will ipv4 be delivered? Can they buy a real IPv4 address for their business? 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. thx. -- Dave Täht CTO, TekLibre, LLC http://www.teklibre.com Tel: 1-831-205-9740

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.

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
