It's called "IPv4 exhaustion"... DS-Lite is one of the way to deal
with it (which effectively gives you "only one NAT in the path"), the
other way is "hand out RFC1918 or 100.64.* addresses and double-NAT".
Both stinks, but unless someone finds another few billion IPv4 addresses
somewhere, this is what large scale providers need to do.
