Although there are many perceived benefits to Network Address
Translation (NAT), the primary benefit of "amplifying" available
address space is not needed in IPv6. In addition to its many serious
disadvantages there is a perception that other benefits exist, such
as a variety of management and security reasons that could be useful
for an Internet Protocol. IPv6 does not support NAT by design and
this document shows how Network Architecture Protection (NAP) using
IPv6 can provide the benefits without the need for NAT.
