Hi Eric,
I would like to be part of that group.
My little network is connected to the internet
via a NAT router and I could not live without
it because daily renumbering wont do.
On the other hand that NAT-box is the biggest
obstacle between my network and IPv6.
I would like to help design a NAT that is not
an obstacle but a stepping stone.
Kind regards
Peter

Yes, there is a very clear anti-NAT religion that drives a lot of
thought. It's not clear that any other opinion is tolerated.
Fred,
I pesonally would be open to a real discussion about the needs and then
about the solution. But for now NAT has taken on religious connotations
with those who are for it being as single minded as those who are
against it.
We need a team made up of both sides to sit down, spell out what are the
functions of NAT (using v4 as a basis) and then to see if:
1. If they are still relevant (like number shortage from v4 is not the
same issue under v6 for example)
2. Do they already exist in v6 without adding NAT
Then we need to check:
1. Is there is a solution by using NAT
2. Is there is a better solution than using NAT
Only then can we make a proper and informed decission on what is needed
and what is unneeded legacy.
Eric
