Hi All,
We may not have to worry about it - NAT is now illegal in 4 of the
United States, and counting:
http://news.com.com/2100-1028-994667.html
One thing I have not seen addressed in this thread is anonymity. One
reason I wrote my first NAT in 1996 was because I can do things on the
net (like send this email), and no one could trace it back any further
than my company DSL link. It's up to me if I want to identify myself or
not.
I don't see any good way to do this without NAT, which has well
understood drawbacks.
If IPv6 has a better anonymity solution, can someone point me to it? Or
do I have to start working on NATv6? (See, this is why I don't always
want to identify myself! :-)
