.01%? heh. NAT can break xbox, ps3, certain pc games, screw with various
programs that dislike multiple connections from a single IP, and the
crap load of vpn clients that appear on the network and do not support
nat traversal (either doesn't support it, or big corp A refuses to
enable it).
When we were in our infancy, we had areas doing NAT. It was a support
nightmare from hell, and in some cases, it just didn't work period. That
doesn't even get into the load issues.
