Have you been following this thread? What odd questions and
assumptions...appears as if folk have no idea re: IPv6 addressing ..all end
nodes will be globally addressable for 'practical purposes' is such an odd
statement to make...either:
1. meaning that all end nodes will have globally unique and addressable
addresses; or
2. that all end nodes will 'automagically' be able to be reached through
the IPv6 routing and routed protocols.
Obviously #2 is sound but probably not what this person meant...
Cute...

Are you saying that there will be IPv6 NAT?
And that we should design protocols running on top of IPv6 to take NAT
into account?
If yes on both, how can we do that without a NAT specification so that
the IETF can design protocols to work with NAT and vendors can build
NATs that work with IETF protocols?
I.e., either we assume no NAT in IPv6, or create a NAT standard. Those
are the only sane options.
