Wait.. Do we not like NAT now??
At the cool network kids hate nat. π€
Boy do we like it!
NAT is, and has always been, an ugly hack. Why would anyone like it?
Doesnβt that mean private non-routable subnets like 10.x or 192.x have always been a hack?
Private addresses don't necessitate NAT. IPv6 also allows private addresses in the form of
fd00::/8
, likefd00:face:b00b:1::1
.No, because there's use cases for systems that aren't connected to the internet. Also, public IPs can be dynamic, so you might not want to rely on them internally.
