Reality check. The IETF has no protocol police, let alone network police. The IETF cannot allow or disallow things, at least not through an IETF pronouncement. The IETF only has three choices: 1) The Pilatus option: the IETF officially says that it does not like NAT, and washes its hand from the outcome. 2) The Attila-the-Hun option: the IETF dislikes NAT so much that it starts engineering protocols that absolutely break if someone dare deploy NAT. 3) The Munich option: the IETF recognizes that the evil won't be stopped, so dirty its hands and tries a compromise. Pick your poison. -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ nat66 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nat66
