I wonder... Can every NAT applications be replaced by ipv6? Now, the
application area of NAT is much bigger than the original goals (e.g.
security applications, easing network administration), so I wonder if
ipv6 can make NAT useless. Without proof of the contrary I would say
that NAT will still be usefull.
