Question is whether we can do more to help capture / share useful NAT64 usage data

I posit that there is room to do so in the way of education: if users better understood the purpose and nature of the nat64 network, and if there were some *non-technical* steering of people to try it out, parties interested in collecting such information would likely get more of the data they want. Today, users at IETF meetings are presented with a dazzling array of:
  • ietf
  • ietf-legacy
  • ietf-2.4ONLY
  • ietf-v6ONLY
  • ietf-hotel
  • ietf-nat64

...and I suspect most people have little clue about why most of these exist or which to use. The "nat64" variation certainly gets lost in the noise.

We've had "awareness" posters on-site to educate participants about BOFs occurring during the week for a while now; perhaps a similar poster explaining what the nat64 network is, that the NOC now considers it production-quality, why people might want to try it out, and how to report issues when they arise, would be useful in driving enough traffic to gather additional statistics. If you wanted to be even more aggressive about it, you could even replicate it on little slips of paper handed to people when they get their badges.
