Title : More Fixed Identities for Private Hosts behind NAT IDNAT

In many flavors of the nowadays address translators, real addresses
are assigned to private hosts without preserving uniqueness; the same
real address can be shared among multiple private hosts and the same
private host can also obtain different addresses over the time as
well. As a result the addresses used for private hosts reflect some
kind of ambiguity on those hosts. This proposal introduces the IDNAT
model as a solution for that address ambiguity problem. This solution
concentrates on defining another virtual identity to identify private
hosts in replacement of the ambiguous assigned real IP address.
Through agile practices this identity can be assigned to each of the
private hosts, and the hosts themselves will be aware of their
assigned Ids which are going to be quite unique throughout the private
region as well as the entire Internet realm. Moreover, the new Id will
play a centric role in the packets transmission so as to identify the
private host outside the private region and hence defeating the
undesired ambiguity.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
