Yes it breaks some (all not NAT-able), and when this is used clients have to live up with the limitations. But as I said, for the time being this is used to accomodate a multiple-ISP cenario where clients need basically HTTP, FTP, and less percentage of H.323. Take notice that NAT takes place before the packets reach their service providers. So maybe, I couldn't call it properly "NAT an ISP" as the title suggests. > Or maybe they tunnel on top of this IP network Not that I know of.
