Hi, Christopher: 1) "  destination/source NAT  ":     I am not sure about this terminology. Could you please elaborate? If you are referring EzIP being a bigger CG-NAT, it is exactly correct. That is, the first step of EzIP implementation is just to give CG-NAT a larger netblock to work

The problem isn't the quantity of "inside" CG-NAT address space. It's the existence of CG-NAT at all. It doesn't matter if the available space is a /12 or a /4, you still need something to translate it to the public internet. The existence of that CG-NAT box is a thorn in every provider's side

Not going to lie, EzIP just seems to be some version of destination/source NAT on steroids. Regards, Christopher Hawker On Fri, 12 Jan 2024 at 14:36, Abraham Y. Chen wrote: > Hi, Forrest: > > 0)Thanks for your in-depth analysis. > > 1) However, my apologies for not presenting the EzIP

Hi, Forrest: 0)    Thanks for your in-depth analysis. 1) However, my apologies for not presenting the EzIP concept clearer. That is, one way to look at the EzIP scheme is to substitute the current 100.64/10  netblock in the CG-NAT with 240/4. Everything else in the current CG-NAT setup
