a nightmare it seems to me
simply put and well stated..but I do suspect that the current NAT problem
can be solved by the proper deployment of applications that MUST have
routeable addresses. SIP being a case in point. The promise of SIP is a
global end to end realtime messaging media ( text, voice , video ) as a
complement to the store and forward Universal Messaging media based on SMTP
( text, voice, fax) we have now.
If the application is powerful enough end users will force their networks
to adapt accordingly.
The Net as we know is has always been application driven. SMTP, HTTP, FTP
etc. These applications can transverse NAT's but real forms of streaming
media cannot.
If we build the right applications that the market wants.. the networks
will adapt to the needs of the applications....not the other way around.
