[ale] [OT] AT&T/UVerse going to carrier grade NAT?

[Michael Campbell]

ALErs,

A buddy of mine on UVerse received a notice that he would have to change
his LAN from 10/8 to 192.168/16 for some "improvements" that AT&T was about
to roll out 6-Jul.

The buzz on "dslreports.com" is that AT&T is moving to a carrier grade NAT
setup, and will be issuing all subscribers a 10/8 address, resulting in
subscribers no longer having a publicly visible IP (static or not).

I run a few minor servers on my home machine(s), and this will affect me in
big ways if I can't get to them from "outside".

Was wondering if anyone here knew anything about it, and/or if there are
any tricks with ssh and tunneling to get "back in".  (My thought was to ssh
to a publicly available machine from my home server with some reverse
tunnels back to my home server, then talk to the publicly available machine
on the ports I reverse tunneled - would that work?)

Thoughts welcome.
