Such things REALLY _NEEED_ to be broken, and the sooner the better as then perhaps the offenders will fix such things sooner too, because they are by definition already broken and in violation of RFC 1918 and good common sense.
Ok but real world calling. I have tried this and when customers find something doesnt work on your network but it does on your competitor you make it work even if that means breaking rules.
What services require transport of packets with RFC1918 source addresses across the public network? I can think of esoteric examples of things it would be possible to do, but nothing that a real-world user might need (or have occasion to complain about). Do you have experience of such breakage from your own customers? It would be interesting to hear details. Joe
