NAT at the end of OC12 sounds hideous indeed. That's why I would prefer to see it as part of the modem in the house/business. I am sure (by guesswork and not by statistics) that a very large number of users would need relatively simple and secure systems. I guess this because of the way I see a

Unfortuantely there are enough protocols and applications which don't work well behind a NAT that deploying this on a large scale is not practical. It already is deployed upon a large scale. When I had @Home in Seattle (one of the first subscribers), I had a 10.x address. Here in Costa Rica,

Penalizing users that need (and will pay) for reasonably accessible two way communication is not the answer, and never will be. By all means, make a non-NAT IP address a optional premium service, and hope those that request it are sophisticated enought to secure their machine. Adam

More on this - Two of BellSouth's AS's (6197 6198) have combined to inject around 1,000 deaggregated prefixes into the global routing tables over the last few weeks (in addition to their usual load of ~600+ for a total of ~1,600). This does indeed appear to be having an operational impact
