Why don't they use IPv6 instead of uPnP? They control the consumer box (and PS3, XBOX, are not cheap boxes) and they control the gaming servers. Look at the feature back to my mac., it opens when possible an IPv6 over IPv4 toredo tunnel, so that apple servers can easily contact back the de

While I think this is an improvement, unless the distribution of ULA-C is no cheaper and no easier to get than GUA, I still think there is reason to believe that it is likely ULA-C will become de facto GUA over the long term. As such, I still think the current draft is a bad idea absent appropri
