A number of IETF documents(*) state that there are some service providers that place a NAT box in front of their entire network, so all their customers get private addresses rather than public address. It is often stated that these are primarily cable-based providers.
I am trying to get a handle on how common this practice is. No one that I have asked seems to know any provider that does this, and a search of a few FAQs plus about an hour of Googling hasn't turned up anything definite (but maybe I am using the wrong keywords ...).
Can anyone give me some names of providers that do this?
Rose.net, the municipal provider in Thomasville GA. They'll assign you a fixed public address which can be gotten back through if you ask, for extra money, but your interface address will still be in 1918 space. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
