Huh? What kind of ISP NATs its customers' connections? Your ISPshould be assigning your machine/router a legitimate, unique IPv4 address. The assignment is often, even usually, a temporary assignment via DHCP, but it should not be a private address. If NAT is a factor, that should happen at the boundary of your own private network, not at an ISP's facility.
It seems that a French ISP was also planning to share an IPv4 address per four costumers.

I'll second the above comments. Most of those little router boxes arerunning some form of LINUX or FreeBSD as an embedded configuration, which includes swapping and paging being disabled due to the absence of secondary storage. All of them have limited RAM. One typical problem with running tor on a NATed machine behind such a device is that the NAT table grows until all of the real memory on the device has been consumed and there is no more room for new NAT entries.
I am not currently able to replace the modem/router my ISP provides. But I'd plan to give it away in the future.
In the meantime, I think it would be great to have IPv6-only relays, to avoid this kind of NAT-related issues.
