I run a large 464xlat dominated mobile network.

IPv4 bits are materially more expensive to deliver.


Isn't that simply a consequence of your engineering decision to use
464xlat instead of native dual-stack, as was originally envisioned for the
transition?


Steady state would be nat44, which also is materially more expensive to
deliver than IPv6


And, as FB has shared, IPv6 is more performant for end users, and more
performant is more profitable


Isn't that also at least partially a consequence of your engineering
decision to use 464xlat?


Perhaps. But it is Verizon's dual-stack in the quote, not me
