Hi, Christopher: 1) "  destination/source NAT  ":     I am not sure about this terminology. Could you please elaborate? If you are referring EzIP being a bigger CG-NAT, it is exactly correct. That is, the first step of EzIP implementation is just to give CG-NAT a larger netblock to work with,

The problem isn't the quantity of "inside" CG-NAT address space. It's the existence of CG-NAT at all. It doesn't matter if the available space is a /12 or a /4, you still need something to translate it to the public internet. The existence of that CG-NAT box is a thorn in every provider's side

Not going to lie, EzIP just seems to be some version of destination/source NAT on steroids. Regards, Christopher Hawker On Fri, 12 Jan 2024 at 14:36, Abraham Y. Chen wrote: > Hi, Forrest: > > 0)Thanks for your in-depth analysis. > > 1) However, my apologies for not presenting the EzIP c

Hi, Forrest: 0)    Thanks for your in-depth analysis. 1) However, my apologies for not presenting the EzIP concept clearer. That is, one way to look at the EzIP scheme is to substitute the current 100.64/10  netblock in the CG-NAT with 240/4. Everything else in the current CG-NAT setup st

I shouldn't probably go down this path... as I know this has been discussed but I'm hoping that this might make a difference. Abraham, Even if 240/4 is "fixed", your EzIP scheme will require some sort of NAT box between the 240/4 addressed devices and the non-EzIP internet. That NAT box will hav

Hi, Enno: 0)    Thanks for your comments referring to historical efforts. 1)    However, the "IPv4 Unicast Extension Project" that your paper cited does not make any specific recommendation about how to utilize the 240/4 netblock uniformly across the entire Internet. Our proposal, EzIP outlin
