[arin-ppml] IPv6 Non-connected networks

[Gary T. Giesen]

I'm inclined to agree. Any perceived benefits from NAT are washed away
by the breaking of end-to-end connectivity. Which is partly what IPv6
was designed to rectify. Anything that NAT does can be achieved with a
firewall and a well-designed security architecture (such as segregation
of hosts into proper security zones, etc). Don't break IPv6 for the rest
of us because some people don't know how to design their networks. Let
those few suffer the consequences rather than the rest of us.
