* Carrier NAT...
I spend most of my days fighting with "carriers" to actually carry bits from point A to point B like they're paid to do. I'm sick and tired of them blaming CPE for circuit bounces and outages that are magically "fixed" without us doing anything to CPE. I have absolutely ZERO confidence that the carriers can implement NAT on a global scale such that it works and actually provides decent customer service. (realizing that this broad characterization is probably unfair to many smaller carriers who actually give a crap; my daily pain is generally caused by the "Tier 1" guys)
