Re: Allocations for "always-on" ISPs

I fail to see your point, why are so many people against NAT? in an isp situation..

There are lots of reasons for this, the most inportant perhaps is that it only supports well known/well behaved protocolls. (Personaly I have still not been able to make H.323 work properly with NAT from a "well known router manufacturer".)
