Sigh all you like, but I share Dave's skepticism that ISP's
renumbering my prefix willy-nilly and it just sort of works with
naming -- including addresses squirrelled away in places they ought
not be -- is going to work any time soon.
That's why we have ULAs and multiple prefixes.
ULA's are of limited use. I still want to start my washing machine regardless of
whether I'm at home or not.
I don't like to think that NAT is inevitable but frankly the people
in this working group don't get to vote on that.
Actually they do. They have the freedom to specify alternatives, and
depending on how good a job they do, implementers may choose to use them.
Wishful thinking. NAT's didn't start with the blessing of IETF as I recall.
They just
happened. If the alternatives are too whacked out, history will repeat itself.
Speaking to the title of this thread: has anybody actually
demonstrated such a thing end to end? It strikes me as
Frankensteinian when you get all of the body parts bolted together.
What thing exactly? Multiprefix multihoming? End-to-end connectivity in
general?
Yes, along with naming, security, prefix delegation across multiple routers,
and isp's
giving and withdrawing prefixes due to renumbering. I'm dubious that this has
happened
in real life with networks with people whose day job is to worry about such
things, and
I'd be astonished to hear such a thing has been shown to work on a home network.
