So So, use NAT to enjoy 48 bit addressing, may be with class E. You can still enjoy full end to end transparency for applications over TCP/UDP through UPnP capable NAT boxes. > - x230,000 times larger address space than IPv4 (should be enough for > several hundred years, including IoT) If 48 bit space by NAT is not large enough, the least painful way to extend it is to make port numbers 32 bit long. > -Simpler to implement than IPv4/v6, because no fragmentation.
