Why are we wasting effort in every WG and research area on NAT traversal

FWIW I'm also concerned that we are doing too many different NAT
traversal protocols. It should be sufficient to just define how IPv6 is
tunneled across NATs and start using more IPv6 in the applications.
On another topic, why is it that the API is so sacred that we will create
a massive array of complex approaches to avoid defining a real session
layer. We put imitation session efforts at layer 4 (SCTP), layer 3.5 (HIP),
layer 3.25 (shim), and the TRILL crap is trying to do it at layer 2.5.
I don't understand what makes you think TRILL is trying to do a session
layer. If it does, then any other routing and tunneling approach should
also be given the same verdict.
