RFC 5180 addressed IPv6 specificities and it also provided a technology update, but excluded IPv6 transition technologies. RFC 8219 addressed IPv6 transition technologies, including stateful NAT64. However, none of them discussed how to apply RFC 4814 pseudorandom port numbers to any stateful NAT (NAT44, NAT64, NAT66) technologies. We discuss why using pseudorandom port numbers with stateful NAT gateways is a hard problem and recommend a solution.}, }
