I should have waited until Perry had spoken, because now that he has
pointed out the extreme cost of NAT, I have seen the light!
NATs are expensive. They have gross side-effects. Even Noel Chiappa,
my guru, says that they are an architectural hack.
So, why are people deploying them?
They are so awful, that it must only happen when people have NO OTHER OPTION.
So, I have to wonder, why is it that they have no option?
Maybe because I hear from folks like you and others that you're
ideologically opposed to deploying v6 instead of against it for
technical reasons?
