So? Note that there is no guarantee that IPv6 prefix length is /32. The fact is that many, if not all, network operators can't remember IPv6 addresses, which is a major, among many, obstacle against IPv6. > Please stop spreading FUD about IPv6, just because _YOU_ are either > incapable or unwilling to deploy IPv6 doesn't mean that the other > currently >2000 prefix owners would prefer to wait another n years to > see whether your RFC-draft would be implemented by one single vendor ... 2000 prefixes in some private network 15 years after rfc1883??? No, my interest is on >300000 prefixes routed over the real internet. > Let's see. "ipv6.google.com". Looks easy to remember to me. I'm not talking about end users. >>Instead, everyone should be able to remember 4 byte IPv4 >>addresses and 2 byte short port numbers as was documented in >><draft-ohta-e2e-nat-00.txt> > Exactly.

Exactly, which is why my draft says: assign small port numbers evenly to all the customers. Read it.

Let DNS map from domain names to 6 byte address+port is no more difficult than to let DNS map from domain names to IPv6 address. > now tell me, what exactly does the end user gain from > sticking with YAPOSNL? (yet another POS nat layer) End to end transparency. Masataka Ohta
