Re: Requirements for IPv6 Firewalls

Many enterprises probably are in the same position, but a whole lot of
them aren't.

Maybe this comes down to "should" versus "must".  I don't think all
IPv6 firewalls "must" support NAT, but they should.

Remember, we're aiming for a base set of requirements applying to all
IPv6 firewalls.

Your document specifies "Enterprise" firewalls. Frankly I think that's
wise. Consumer and enterprise users have very different needs and very
different cost points.

Over here we have no use for IPv6 NAT. We have our own PI space. I
suspect many other enterprises would be in a similar situation.

I totally get your position, but I don't see how it can justify an
Internet-wide requirement.
