3) our management will never buy into that; or<br>
<br>
4) our auditors will never allow that!<br>

The first two I can work with. However, the last two are particularly
damaging :(. And the fact that (external) auditors can and do intimidate
organisations into using NAT "for security reasons" distresses me. About
two years ago, I watched a fairly large university give up the equivelent of
a /19 of real world address space in favour of NAT primarily because of 4),
and its subsequent impact via an internal audit & risk committee on 3).<br>

Item 3 is usually what is on the list for institution from my localty. Below is the order that is experienced<br>
<br></div><div>1) We don't think its necessary to change - Infact this is mostly the case and when ICT directorate of an institution don't think there is any benefit/need to run native v4 every other item below get stalled!<br>
</div><div>
<br></div><div>2) We understand the need to change but scare of security implications<br><br></div><div>
3) Our ISP is hindering our change due to extra recurring charges<br>
<br>4) Our management may not approve extra cost of internet (its not something to feel and touch like classrooms :))<br></div><div><br><br></div><div>Regards<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
