||
|| This is all nice, but RFC 3330 states about the three private blocks :
|| Addresses within this block should not appear on the public Internet
||
|| And RFC 1918 states :
|| Because private addresses have no global meaning, routing information
|| about private networks shall not be propagated on inter-enterprise
|| links, and packets with private source or destination addresses
|| should not be forwarded across such links.
||
|| A "should" requirement may be ignored if and only if there is a very
|| good reason to do so. What may be the good reason to send traffic with a
|| private address to a destination on another network ? I do not believe
|| that ISP's and carriers suffer from public address shortage.

Where is the NAT ? If it is NAT, I don't think I'll be able to see their
internal address. It is simply packet forwarding between interfaces.

Or it is, 207.46.46.67 ?

Thanks all for the replies.
