NAT seems completely superfluous when the networks are dished out as /64. I did notice that there is a reserved range of private/local/site-unique addresses (prefix fd), but I'm not quite sure what that is intended for.
My understanding is those are addresses that can be used within an organization, either through a router or not, but not accessable by the world. This is exactly what NAT provides, beyond using local RFC1918 addresses. I suspect this may be a case of someone raising a question because they don't understand the situation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
