Who's saying they will? I'm not forcing them to use NAT anymore then I'm
telling them what their FW rules must be...or what OS to standardize their
hosts/servers on.
Nowhere, either in this draft or any of the hypothetical cases people have
argued for Statefull NAT66 have I seen ANYONE try to argue that there should be
ANY standard which REQUIRES an Enterprise to implement any flavor of NAT.
The only argument I've ventured is that there ARE legitimate usage cases for
NAT (both the flavor being described in this document and a statefull NAT
similar to what exists in IPv4 today). IF that's true, then it would be helpful
(IMO) to EVERYONE that some standards be published that provide recommendations
on how those technologies might be expected to behave.
If the argument is that an RFC should only be published if the usage case which
it describes must be applicable to 100% of the internet community (rather then
some subset)...then I think you are going to need to invalidate 99.99999% of
the RFC's out there.
Furthermore, if you believe that that the technology goals which I have
described are atypical of Enterprises...I will simply state that your
experience of the Enterprise environment must run entirely counter to my own.
