From the conclusion:

NAT may be a good short term solution to the address depletion and scaling problems. This is because it requires very few changes and can be installed incrementally. NAT has several negative characteristics that make it inappropriate as a long term solution, and may make it inappropriate even as a short term solution. Only implementation and experimentation will determine its appropriateness.

      I’ve only recently branched out from router defaults…only reason was that I wanted to VLAN off my home network, and mostly just so [Home Assistant-controlled] smart devices can’t talk to the Internet at all.

      Whenever I’m given the chance at work, I let my feelings be known about using “consumer grade addressing schema” in production clusters. Sure, I use it at home, but anything beginning with “192.168” looks like my moms wifi, and has no right being part of a production network.

            Well again, I’m only using /24 chunks of it.

            The main reason I went with it is that it’s far faster for me to type “10.0.x.x” than to type “192.168.x.x”, especially on the keypad.
