Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAT64?
NAT64 is a network translation mechanism that allows IPv6-enabled devices to communicate with IPv4-only servers. It is a key component in the transition from the current IPv4 internet to the next-generation IPv6.
What is an RTU license?
RTU stands for 'Right To Use'. In Cisco's licensing model, an RTU license grants the user the permission to activate and use a specific feature or software on their hardware for a defined period or in perpetuity, depending on the license type.
How does this license help with IPv6 adoption?
This license enables your Cisco ASR1000 router to perform NAT64 translation, allowing your IPv6-only clients to reach IPv4 resources. This is crucial for businesses that are gradually migrating to IPv6 and need to maintain connectivity with existing IPv4 services.
