I almost wish NAT had never been invented. It's a kludge that effectively added 16 bits to the IPv4 address space and delayed IPv6 as a result.

- thayne 5mo agoAnd it added those 16 bits in a way that causes a lot of problems
- PaulKeeble 5mo agoCGNat even more so because its added ~16 more bits and taken away full functioning connections form the ISP customers to do it.
- zadikian 5mo agoIf/when everyone is forced to leave ipv4 due to address+port exhaustion, it's possible that ipv6 isn't the replacement.
