Curtis> Remove NAT and the work has no purpose.
I don't quite agree.
The external rendezvous is *FORCED* by NAT.
The need for a rendezvous goes away with IPv6 end to end, assuming that
security policies allow.
But, if we assume that end users should never type IPv6 addresses, then
a rendezvous (which might now, be hosted by one or more devices at the
home, rather than in the cloud!!!) is something that very much
facilitates use by regular users.
