NATs are good. They provide security.

Things need names. Numbers are hard to remember. We have Class-A for /8,
Class-B for /16 and Class-C for /24. We need names for the others as
well.

But it's DHCPv6. Not DHCP! It works differently. And Android does not
support it. Enterprise Customers want DHCP!

DNS is to hard, to complex and fails to often. And in enterprise
networks it probably done by another team.

The script was just an example for software breaking when you implement
something that looks completely different like IPv4. I this case the
script is parsing log files and netflow data and we are back to the
regex.
