Yes,

I think this is an very important question that needs to be figured out
about the scope. I think the description needs to be clear that it
currently proposes an evaluate and pick phase on the solution.

I think what technologies that are applicable to this is very depending
on the problem one tries to solve. One of the big questions I have on
the problem statement is what classes of legacy application you intended
to support.

Legacy client to sever application where the client towards the external
uses an fractional address and which doesn't matter. Works fine with any
allocation of address.

Legacy application that have some IPv4 NAT traversal capabilities but
still some specific requirements like particular port ranges or adjacent
ports. Can they still work under a limited port range? Or do you need to
capability to request and assign specific ports?
