NAT is used to let more devices use the internet, than the number of public ip addresses that available to the organisation.
But I know a few companies that ended up with a class B network, only have a few thousand internal nodes (< 20 K), but still use NAT for "security reasons", to hide their internal infrastructure. I'm not really sure it adds any level of security, but have found that this idea (myth?) is commonly accepted. Will people still use NAT with IPv6? Anybody worked for a medium size organisation with several thousand nodes and IPv6? What did you/they do? -- Yves. http://www.SollerS.ca/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
