<p dir="ltr">This should be the case Mukom. Probably we should start by people in this list giving their experience and the challenges they get on changing from NAT. I remember at the University of Nairobi, all hosts were on private addresses, but a year before rolling out v6, we acquired enough v4 blocks from our local RIR (KENET), and ensured all hosts are on public v4. One challenge is the network has grown since then and we have again run out of public v4</p>
