Melinda,

I want to add a clarification.

The proposed change (the "yes" option) is a hop-by-hop variant,
but the current version (the no option) is not necessarily
end-to-end.

It is end-to-end if there is only a single NAT on the data path.

With more than one NAT on the data path, a NAT will typically
not receive address information of both ends of the communication.

And, not surprisingly, I prefer the "no" option.

Thanks,

    Juergen
