Deployment of 464XLAT (RFC6877) alongside IPv6-only CPU resources at WLCG sites

IPv4 is now officially deprecated by the IETF. A significant amount of effort has already been expended by the HEPiX IPv6 Working Group on testing dual-stacked hosts and IPv6-only CPU resources. Dual-stack adds complexity and administrative overhead to sites that may already be starved of resource. This has resulted in a very slow uptake of IPv6 from WLCG sites. 464XLAT (RFC6877) is intended for IPv6 single-stack environments that require the ability to communicate with IPv4-only endpoints. This paper will present a deployment strategy for 464XLAT, operational experiences of using 464XLAT in production at a WLCG site and important information to consider prior to deploying 464XLAT.
