Hello,
what is the current situation of deploying IPv6 in T-Mobile's cellular
network in the US?
According to the info at a page called "Case Study: T-Mobile US Goes >IPv6-only Using 464XLAT" - >https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/case-study-t-mobile-us-goes-ipv6-only-using-464xlat/
4G and 5G wireless technologies are inherently IPv6-based. What I
think the OP actually wanted to know was whether T-Mobile gives
customers are globally routable IPv6 address, or a local IPb6 address
that is then squeezed through a "carrier grade NAT" to talk IPv4 with
the rest of the world. On Verizon, I have a globally routable IPv6
address (2600:1000::/28, assigned to Verizon), but my IPv4 address is
from the dedicated "CGNAT" private network, 100.0.0.0/8. On some
other carriers, however, both protocols use private networks.
(On a relatively recent Android phone, you can see your v4 and v6
addresses by opening the Settings app, selecting "About phone" and
then "Status". On any device, you can test your actual IPv6
connectivity using a free web site like test-ipv6.com.)
