OK, there may be ambiguity about e2e.
Here, I meant _network_ e2e transparency, i.e. from customer site to customer 
site.

1.
With network e2e transparency:
- There is no assumption to be made about NAT44 behaviors in CE's.
(We all know that there are many different NAT and FW behaviors, so that any 
assumption may prove to be wrong with a few existing NAT devices.)
- Except for the port-set restriction of shared IPv4 addresses, complete 
backward compatibility of the IPv4 service is ensured.

2.
If some CE's are given full IPv4 addresses, they may use protocols for which 
NAT44 isn't needed.
With network e2e transparency, no restriction on IP options they may use is 
needed.

Regards,
RD
