Would increased use of
NATs be adequate?
NO!
NAT enforces a ‘client-server’ application model where the server has topological constraints
- NAT blocks peer-to-peer or devices that are “called” by others (e.g., IP phones)
- NAT inhibits deployment of new applications and services
NAT increases complexity and reduces manageability of the local network
- especially when we end up moving to nested NATs!
