Tayga users?

Is anyone deploying Tayga in any capacity (production, test networks, at home, with clatd, …)?

I’ve decided to ‘adopt’ the open source project, given it’s ability to both be very standards compliant (at least to 
the standards as they were in 2011), and act in virtually any translation-related role (not restricted to just CLAT or 
just NAT64 or just SIIT)

But I’m interested in hearing how you are using it, what friction you have in deploying it, etc.

This is mostly motivated by my desire to stand up demonstration networks for a variety of transition tech options, and 
with how versatile Tayga is, it can act in essentially all of the major roles involving v4-v6 translation with 
different configuration and routing tables and without any complex namespace setup. I’m also an embedded programmer by 
trade, so dealing with low level C is very much my thing.

[apalrd/tayga: Tayga NAT64 Daemon](https://github.com/apalrd/tayga/)
[github.com](https://github.com/apalrd/tayga/)
is where I've put the repo. I started with the original tar.gz, merged in all of the patches from the Debian project, 
plus one patch from FreeBSD, and went from there. I'm mostly working on an RFC7915 test suite and fixing any bugs 
identified by the test suite, and after that I can make more changes / improvements without worrying about hidden 
breakage.

Yes, I know Github does not support IPv6, but I felt like that collaborators are more likely to have Github accounts 
and know how to use it vs self hosting or other platforms).
