And huge thanks to SMB at Columbia for getting the word out:

Here's the paper that prompted the discussion:

Two quick points:

1.  Is the problem with DDOSs really tied to anonymity?  That's kind of 
laughable. . .

2.  Not that IPv4 NAT serves any real anonymity role in itself, but they 
must really be looking to speed up IPv6 changes here. . . So when your 
kid is born, you get a form for SSN and IPv6 net block?
