Ok, that other thread got kind of out of control. So let's try this question again, in a different way:
Given: When using IPv6, some people will use NAT, others won't. Each person can make their own decision. If you want to dispute that, please start a new thread instead of this one. I've had that discussion here before, and I'm done with it. Whether you NAT or NOT, most will agree it's a bad idea to expose your toaster, watch, TV, laptop and everything to the unsolicited inbound traffic from the wild wild web. Therefore, a stateful firewall packet filter at the perimeter is necessary to block inbound unsolicited traffic. Therefore, p2p in general is broken. Unless.... Unless there is a protocol or solution of some sort, that allows internal devices to reconfigure the perimeter firewall to allow the inbound traffic. Such tasks are currently done via NAT-PMP and IGD, but those unfortunately seem to be IPv4 only. So... What's the solution for IPv6? _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
