[address-policy-wg] Mandating NAT toward the final /8

Hello Masataka,

The document you sent to this list is only a draft. The chances of  
getting end to end NAT globally deployed before the IPv4 address space  
runs out are very close to zero, as it needs changes in hosts and  
gateways. Also remember that we make policy for all uses of IP  
addresses, not just end user networks that have/get/need a limited  
amount of public addresses. These policies also apply to datacenters  
where servers are hosted. There are many examples where you can not  
put those servers behind a NAT box. Mandating NAT in the way you have  
stated in your messages is therefore not possible.

We are not going to change address policy in the whole RIPE region  
because of a draft document that only covers a part of what addresses  
are used for. For some people/companies this might be a very  
interesting subject, but please end this discussion on the address  
policy mailing list.

Thank you,
