Geoff, | It would be better if a more neutral wording was used here, | and whatever your personal opinions may be about the | use of NATs, the undeniable fact is that NAT is a very commonly | deployed technology. I understand that, and I apologize for writing my personal preference on previous mail. | --------------------------------------------- | 7.4 NAT | | RFC1631 describes Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT allows | a network device to translate address fields in the IP packet header | as they pass through the NAT device. NAT is commonly | used in IPv4 to undertake a limited form of connectivity between | private and public address realm. | | NAT is not a standardized technology for IPv6, and APNIC policies | do not require or encourage any user to deploy NAT in a IPv6 context. | --------------------------------------------- Excellent! I think this is easy to understand for non-native speaker like me, and last sentence matches my prefernce very much. -- Tomohiro Fujisaki, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Coproration.
