Important IPv6 Policy Issue -- Your Input Requested

Wed Nov 10 08:14:51 UTC 2004

"Get a firewall" is not a valid response when you have lusers
to drop the latest netgear whatever onto their PC and dial
to some provider somewhere.  Your firewall is useless to 
protect that segment.  In many cases NAT is the ONLY
protection you end up with in this scenario, a scenario that
is far to common in the corporate world.

Get a firewall.  You shouldn't rely on NAT to provide this
functionality.  How long has IPv6 been on the horizon, promising to
make NAT unnecessary?
