[e2e] 0% NAT - checkmating the disconnectors

[rick jones]

Not well thought out, and far from technical, likely pessimistic, and 
certainly quixotic, but it seems that what separates the "good old 
days" from the "bad new days" is money.  To my fuzzy recollection, "in 
the beginning" few if any were trying to make money from/on the 
Internet.  It was in broad handwaving terms, a medium of the geeks, by 
the geeks and for the geeks. People for whom it was not a job, not even 
a career, but a way of life.  One basically shared by all the 
participants. Then some folks decided to make it user friendly and give 
it a GUI - the "WWW" - and it was all downhill from there.  The 
Internet had taken its byte from the proverbial apple.

I have to wonder if any work of mankind can grow and become ubiquitous 
without becoming tainted in some way.

"Civilization" grew and begat bureaucracy and forms of government of 
varying palatability.
Postal mail grew and begat junk mail.
The telephone network grew and begat telemarketers.
The Internet grew and begat what we've got today.

Seems if you want to keep a next generation "clean" it has to remain 
small, impoverished, and uninteresting in the large.
