Continental Grade NAT Nightmare
Bad News IPv6 Fans! CISCO has announced that their new Continental Grade NAT can put 200 million customers behind one IP address It releases in 2030 and will cost $10M per year.
A headline claims that Cisco’s fictional “Continental Grade NAT” will place 200 million customers behind a single IP address, illustrated with chaotic masses of yellow network cables. The joke exaggerates the nightmare of large-scale network address translation and mocks delaying IPv6 adoption despite an absurdly expensive solution. People send it as a reaction to overcomplicated networking infrastructure or resistance to IPv6.
