.01%? heh. NAT can break xbox, ps3, certain pc games, screw with various programs that dislike multiple connections from a single IP, and the crap load of vpn clients that appear on the network and do not support nat traversal (either doesn't support it, or big corp A refuses to enable it).
When we were in our infancy, we had areas doing NAT. It was a support nightmare from hell, and in some cases, it just didn't work period. That doesn't even get into the load issues.
