Two comments, admittedly from someone who's been well out of ISP
sysadmin for some years now:
1) The proposal in draft-weil sucks. It fills me with abject horror
that some ISPs - and I hope not all - are going to deploy CGN and
other, similar, half-arsed connectivity tricks to pretend to
customers that they're offering an actual service.
2) Unfortunately, the alternative - forcing the ISPs to jury-rig
their own, worse, solutions, in effect - seems worse. I'm persuaded
in particular by the comments made by Owen DeLong. And awful
connectivity via the draft-weil method is at least better service
than these alternatives.
Therefore I support, with immense distaste, publication of draft-weil
as a Least Awful Common Practise document. I'm really not keen on the
notion of it being labelled "Best", but I suppose it'll have to do.
