Re: [Wg-ipv6-guide] (TOC 7.4) NAT



Hi Hosaka-san and all,

 | Please refer to the draft for [ToC 7.4 NAT] as below.
 | 
 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 7.4 NAT
 | 
 | RFC1631 describes Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT makes consume
 | fewer public IP address thereby assisting the goal of conservation. 
 | 
 | However many drawbacks have been cited with the use of NAT, and the 
 | goal of conservation is less important compared to IPv4, so that 
 | APNIC policies do not require any ISP or Internet user to employ 
 | Network Address Translation (NAT), as current IPv4 address policies
 | do not either.
 | 
 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
 | Your comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.

I think it need to clarify what the NAT is in this context. In IPv6
environment, IPv4 <-> IPv6 translation is also called 'NAT'.


# IMHO, IPv6/IPv6 NAT should not be used in IPv6 environment.
