Comment on Tailscale 4via6 – Connect Edge Deployments at Scaleparent

Comments

As far as I understand it, both involve translating between IPv6 and IPv4, but NAT64 is a broad standard for general IPv6-to-IPv4 internet access, whereas Tailscale's 4via6 is more specific feature to solve a niche problem of overlapping private IP ranges within a Tailscale VPN environment using some proprietary addressing scheme. But it's been a while since I was deep in network land.
