There is no need, but typically desire. Which company is comfortable leaking out individual employees IP addresses if they can avoid it? There are more downsides from a security point of view than upsides.
- gwright 11y agoThat can be done with randomized assignment of addresses to hosts rather than dynamic address translation. Everyday you come to work you get a different address. No need to do that dynamically at the network border or on a per connection basis. But thank you for pointing out explicitly one of the 'reasons' that is given for IPv6 NAT.
