This question appears to be as to whether the @home setup presented at nanog28 is a good idea rather than the usual 1918 on public links. This is not uncommon for cable modem users etc And yes, things will break like voip, vpns.. but I guess its up to the service provider as to whether nat-only apps are considered supported or not. (There are no violations of 1918 in this which is the usual topic along these lines.) So is that it, thread done? :) Steve On Wed, 4 Jun 2003, Muir, Ronald wrote:

Hello,

I would like to know if any service providers have built their access networks out using private IP space. It certainly would benefit the global IP pool but it may adversely affect users with special applications. At any rate, it sounds like good fodder for a debate.
