Re: IPv6 uptake (was: The Reg does 240/4)

Think of it like this: you have a guard, you have a fence and you have barbed wire on top of the fence. Can you secure the place without the barbed wire? Of course. Can an intruder defeat the barbed wire? Of course. Is it more secure -with- the barbed wire? Obviously.

NAT is like the barbed wire. Anyone with a pair of wire cutters doesn’t need to defeat the barbed wire, they just cut the fence instead. But I understand how the barbed wire makes you and management feel warm and fuzzy. The problem here is that NAT is also like a big blind spot in the video cameras that should be helping you spot the guy cutting the fence. Owen
