Matt, I thought a co-chair of the NAT WG would actually support
the proposal. :)
Being the chair means that I know how bad NAT is. Why would I want the IETF
terminal room to use it?
Seriously, are we really saying that NAT is great for consumers,
but keep them away from the IETF network because we *know* it won't
work?
The terminal room and wireless network at IETF meetings are *working*
networks. They aren't for playing around. We've been there and done that
and it isn't fun.
