This is an excerpt of a discussion about draft-ietf-behave-lsn-requirements and which type of document it should be, but I think that Pete makes some good points about CGN that will help us in navigating how to proceed on our CGN-related work

Thanks,

Wes George

[WEG] snip

this document is about CGNs. It's about things that are almost by definition not nice interoperable players on the Internet. They are messy local devices for (albeit large) local networks. Indeed, there are many folks who think that horrific plagues be visited upon those who deploy CGNs and that they should be dismantled as soon as humanly possible, if not before. But in any event, this is not really a spec "for hardware and software required for computer communication across interconnected networks", but rather is a document for "networks operated by a great variety of organizations, with diverse goals and rules" to provide "operators and administrators of the Internet follow some common guidelines for policies and operations".
