Re: IPv6 like OSI is far more complex than necessary
What I do worry about is that if made available, then pretty well everyone would implement it because "we always have NAT" regardless of whether they need it. Ie, too many people couldn't get their heads around not having this crutch to lean on.
So what?
If that's how people want to use the Internet, what does it matter? It'll still work.
If it really does add to the costs of running a service - and, as a small-time VoIP provider, I'm not sure I can really agree with you - then you pass those costs on to the user, with rebates if he takes the solution that makes it cheaper for you. If it makes business sense for people to discard NAT, they will do so. At the moment, it's all cost and no reward.
IPv6 takeup is very, very slow. It would make sense for the community as a whole to work out why this is - and that involves asking the people who have chosen to stay with IPv4, not just telling them why they're wrong...
