It's called "IPv4 exhaustion"... DS-Lite is one of the way to deal with it (which effectively gives you "only one NAT in the path"), the other way is "hand out RFC1918 or 100.64.* addresses and double-NAT". Both stinks, but unless someone finds another few billion IPv4 addresses somewhere, this is what large scale providers need to do. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
