I spend most of my days fighting with "carriers" to actually carry bits fro=
m point A to point B like they're paid to do. =20
I'm sick and tired of them blaming CPE for circuit bounces and outages that=
are magically "fixed" without us doing anything to CPE.
I have absolutely ZERO confidence that the carriers can implement NAT on a =
global scale such that it works and actually provides decent customer servi=
ce.
(realizing that this broad characterization is probably unfair to many smal=
ler carriers who actually give a crap; my daily pain is generally caused by=
the "Tier 1" guys)
