Hi all,

About four months ago, I shared my initial draft, draft-mclarty-nat-sub-address-protocol, which proposes the NAT Sub-Address Protocol (NATSAP) to improve connectivity for devices behind Carrier-Grade NAT (CG NAT).

Since there wasn’t much feedback then, I wanted to take this opportunity to bring it back to the group’s attention, especially as the draft’s expiry date (4 October 2025) is approaching.

NATSAP introduces a new Layer 5 encapsulation and dynamic sub-addressing approach to simplify NAT traversal, with DNS-based service discovery and a novel socket addressing scheme.

I’m particularly interested in:

-    Whether this approach is considered feasible or useful.
-    Suggestions for progressing the Dynamic Sub-Address Assignment Protocol (DSAAP).
-    Feedback on whether INTAREA remains the appropriate working group.
-    Any pointers to related work or existing solutions I might have missed.

I appreciate that this is a complex topic and welcome any thoughts, even high-level or process-related guidance.

Thanks in advance for your time and input!

Best regards,
Daniel McLarty
