I've once again fallen behind on RRG discussions but from the  
subject:s I suspect that the renumbering discussion is still going  
strong.

With NAT66 as proposed in this draft (which is stateless transport- 
agnostic 1-to-1) part of renumbering could become easier, so perhaps  
we should discuss the notion of changing the IP architecture such that  
addresses may change in transit. Maybe we can find some time for this  
in Minneapolis? (Please note that I'm not interested in discussing the  
draft itself, but rather the consequences for routing scalability and  
the solutions to make routing scale.)

> Abstract:
> This document describes a stateless, transport-agnostic IPv6-to-IPv6
> Network Address Translation (NAT66) function that provides the
> address independence benefit associated with IPv4-to-IPv4 NAT (NAT44)
> while minimizing, but not completely eliminating, the problems
> associated with NAT44.
>
> This document also describes an address mapping option for NAT66 that
> offers the topology hiding benefit associated with NAT44 at the cost
> of additional state in the NAT66 device.
