So if you care about 2%, you'll use IPv6. NAT is definitely not "computation-hungry" anymore - In many modern stacks there's hardly any penalty for NAT vs not. And by modern I mean "almost anything written after the mid 1990s" "uses less than 98% as much electricity" so it uses 97% as much as ipv4? At 1500 MTU? Does that at all sound right to anyone? "Hey we increased the header so you get reduced data payload, thus taking more packets to do the same work" doesnt really sound like an electrical savings to me. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/BSXRE26I7YTQVM6TVEVLZPODVYZYAJV5/__;!!PtGJab4!_LaMnmDy475fYmstW_CHl6xEeN-a-bqkvcN2TRFkSKQaeIf3DC-5tuIhui40Og7fu3FCxxZDeDO_Ug8enfBTPMMj0xE$ [lists[.]nanog[.]org] _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/DG52MZGJSMFSEX3LBSW7TV6XXYODV7YB/
