IPv6 deployment is the only thing that will cut down on the operational and support issues enumerated. Trying to fix NAT444 is like trying to use more gas to get yourself out of the mud in a 2-wheel drive automobile. If you take a limited view, you might think that pushing harder will help, but, in reality, you're just digging a deeper hole. Owen
