Re: [Wg-ipv6-guide] (TOC 7.4) NAT



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.
