Title: Port Management to Reduce Logging in Large-Scale NATs
Abstract: Various IPv6 transition strategies require the introduction of large-
scale NATs (e.g., AFTR and NAT64) to share the limited supply of IPv4
addresses available in the network until transition is complete. There
has recently been debate over how to manage the sharing of ports
between different subscribers sharing the same IPv4 address. One
factor in the discussion is the operational requirement to log the
assignment of transport addresses to subscribers. It has been argued
that dynamic assignment of individual ports between subscribers
requires the generation of an excessive volume of logs. This document
suggests a way to achieve dynamic port sharing while keeping log
volumes low.
