May I ask a question?
When you say you tested it with NAT64, what did you test with?
There are two modes for translation between IPv4 and IPv6. The stateful mode, described in draft-ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-stateful, is essentially identical in function to IPv4/IPv4 NAT, and allows IPv6 systems to connect to IPv4 systems but not the reverse. The stateless mode, described in draft-ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate, allows connections to be initiated in either direction. The downside of the stateless mode is that it requires a direct mapping between an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. The are two parts of a common framework, use the same addressing plan, and the same DNS extension.
Are you running both modes, or only the stateful mode? If you are only running the stateful mode, that what you're reporting is what we have been saying for some time it will behave like.

WEB and part of mail (Outlook and Outlook express) are the only applications we can find working properly with NAT64. But there are more than 50% traffic is P2P, WEB traffic is less than 20% on CT’s network. I think it is not a good news to NAT64.

> NAT64 and NAT44 are similar in theory. But what make the difference of application support? I think it should be timing. NAT44 appears ten years ago. There are a few applications on internet at that time. Subsequent applications, such as IM, P2P, were designed to work with NAT44. NAT64 come after this popular applications, situation is totally different. If NAT64 is deployed on commercial network now, CT’s network traffic will cut down 70% immediately, and most applications will release a new version for IPv6-only or NAT64 in the next one year. But it is not a good idea to providers.

If his web client and PC support IPv6 and on an IPv6-only network with NAT64, the web traffic will go through the NAT once. If his web client and PC support IPv4-only on an IPv4 network with NAT444, the web traffic will go through the NAT twice. In the end, he/she still gets the same content. From this perspective, both experience “could be” very similar.

Also, both Cameron and I agree that this is easier to implement IPv6-only on mobile network than on fixed network because mobile operators have more control over the devices and apps. IMHO, it will take longer time for fixed network operators to support NAT64 only solution in the network.
