This is only about allocating a chunk of address space.
For which there is better use than prolonging bad technical solutions.
Address translation has set the state of consumer computing back severely.
It might be all nice and proper according to those who desire to keep the
power of owning a TV transmitter, a printing press or a transaction broker
service.
Do keep in mind that the real driver in IP technology is the ability
for end-nodes to communicate in a manner they chose without prior
coordination with some kind of protocol gateway. NAT and more so CGN
explicitly disables this key feature.
And this is not what the IETF should be doing. The IETF should seek
to maximise the technical capabilities of the Internet protocol
suite so that it may continue to enable new uses of the key feature,
ie. end-node reachability.
Allocating CGN-blessing address space is a clear violation of this.
Is that true?
And if so, why and how can it be formulated or find support it earlier work?
And if it is not true. Why and where do you find support for that view?
I ask because you might touch something quite fundamental there... can
IETF support something that will break/limit reachability on Internet.
