The good question is: why customers use NATs ? Maybe, it is because of the lack of public addresses and surely there are some other reasons ! So I am not convinced by the interdiction of NATs in IPv6 node requirements (is it possible ?) but I would prefer a constructive solution that provides right solutions for customer needs. End to end secure communications is a nice goal but is it possible today to propose such service for any customer or in any environment ? > > I'm not sure if the rest agree and what is the correct > document to say this, may be as part of the changes for the local-link > deprecation ? > > Regards, > Jordi David > > > ***************************** > Madrid 2003 Global IPv6 Summit > 12-14 May 2003 - Register at: > http://www.ipv6-es.com > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List > IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng > FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng > Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -------------------------------------------------------------------- >
