     It's seems we're always confusing NAT with PAT (or NAT overload, or
    whatever else you want to call it). One to one NAT rarely breaks stuff.
    NAT-PT would need to follow that model, otherwise, yes, things will
    break. It seems like an IPv6-only ISP would need to operate the NAT-PT
    boxes, and dedicate a block of v4 addresses the size of the expected
    concurrent online users to the NAT-PT box. Keep in mind that a v6 ISP
    with 1 million customers won't need a million v4 addresses, for obvious
    reasons. It's going to be considerably less than if each customer got a
    v4 address. NAT-PT does seem like a viable short term solution. I'm
    not sure though how to get current v4-only content providers to
    dual-stack their stuff. Increased domain fees maybe for v4-only
    domains...

    And then you'll see your active FTP sessions, SIP calls, RTSP
    sessions, etc fail.
