The really scary thing is that deploying carrier-grade NAT might be cheaper to the service provider than rolling IPv6 to its residential subscribers.

This one REALLY frightens me, but I understand a couple of hardware manufacturers are planning on building such a monster. It might actually work, but the amount of state carried strikes me as in invitation to disaster. There was a draft on CNG, but it expired last month. A copy is still available at: http://smakd.potaroo.net/ietf/all-ids/draft-nishitani-cgn-00.txt Also, a proposal for a different approach is at: http://mice.cs.columbia.edu/getTechreport.php?techreportID=560 (PDF) If you are really concerned about where we go whan v4 address space is exhausted, I strongly urge you to look at all of these issues. -- R.
