Of course, this is only possible with NAT at the customer edge.

Otherwise, it expands the size of the global routing system
exponentially.

As you can see, this TRO has widespread effects, and is something that

you will soon have everyone acting as if IP's are property, and
something that they are entitled to. I ask for input from everyone in
the community on this. We don't think we're crazy, but want to make
sure.
