> we are now looking at carrier-grade NAT vendors as a longer term solution rather then buying more IPv4 space
That's even worse. I read a definition of Internet long back which I vaguely remember
A network of devices where each device is assigned with unique IP address so that they can communicate with each other. No central party is needed for two devices to connect with each other!
This always fascinated me. But NAT breaks that definition or was the definition wrong? It no longer holds true. IPV6 is the only hope. I've wrote more about it here
