As an engineer I think of COST vs BENEFIT. In this case the benefit to running NAT on my home network is that it saves me $50 per month in ISP fees, means I have wireless service to the whole house and means that guests can easily connect. I have never seen a coherent, rational argument as to why the network numbering on my internal network should be the same as the network numbering on the Internet. All I hear is a restatement of the original claim, the 'no you didn't' mode of argument. > I'm not a marketing person, but if I do my best to think like > one, I suspect that the way to market this transition is not > to say "this new box helps you get rid of NAT" but instead > "this is a new, enhanced NAT" > (or since they don't actually use the word NAT to talk about > consumer gear, call it something like "IPv6-ready Enhanced > Address Management") People will still want to do NAT on IPv6.
