OK so far, assuming that "stateful/stateless" implicitly means 
"Stateful/stateless concerning individual customers".

Note however that this isn't what stateful means _in general_, in particular in 
NAT discussions. 
The statefulness/statelessness we talk about should be expressed one way or 
another ("per customer" is a proposal to do that).

NOK for this one: if BR/AFTR's are stateless (i.e. have no per customer state) 
they can't manage dynamic port sets.
That's the point below, now preceded by an *.

The possible solution I mentioned is one where:
- like with 4rd and 4via6 Translation, BR/AFTR's are stateless per customer 
(and therefore also stateless per transport connection)
- unlike with 4rd and 4via6, CE-CE paths within the ISP network always via at 
least one BR (the hub and spoke topology) 
This hasn't been described yet, AFAIK, but can be simple variations of 4rd 
(i.e. 4via6 Encapsulation) and of 4via6 Translation.

Is that clearer?

RD
