AFAIK Comcast already has >2^24 customers. Any major chinese or indian ISP has or will have >2^24 customers. Heck, even DTAG will probably have >2^24 devices in their network soon. NAT is a band-aid. So Comcast has to apply more band-aids under their band-aid? Can you even imagine the problems a potential chinese ISP with say 2^28 devices will have with v4? Do you think this is sane? Best Martin PS: I'm NOT claiming that v6 is the perfect answer.
