So you don't think existing customers will be moved behind CGN's?
This has to work for ALL customers (new and old) with equipment
that is 10+ years old.  We are talking about billions of machines
world wide.

224/10 could be made to work with new equipement provided there was
also signaling that the equipment supported it.  That doesn't help
ISP that have new customers with old equipment and no addresses.
