David, IPv6 does not solve the need to renumber if you change providers (and no, not everyone can be a provider -- IPv6 uses CIDR, just like IPv4). Until that issue is addressed, there will be NATs. Even for v6. Odd. Every time I renumbered some site (hq.af.mil and sundry other sites

It's our collective job to ensure that IPv6 doesn't leave any of the motivations to do NAT intact. The "hiding" motivation (aka address policy domains) is bogus anyway, and has never been a valid reason for doing IPv4 NAT, so it's particularly hard to combat. Brian Melinda Shore wrote:
