Can't we move to IPv6 where there is no NAT ?
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoNot if you have an ISP, that won't ever support IPv6. There are a lot of us (in the US) in that boat. It's hard to play with unavailable tech. edit: removed stuff about Push via SIP, that might be too incorrect to be helpful. Also removed some pondering about trying msg.exe over IPv6. I was probably fishing for trouble there.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoThey're going to have to move to IPv6 : with Europe running out of IPv4 addresses, and a lot of third-world countries never having had enough of the in the first place, soon enough an IPv4-only connection won't be considered a real Internet connection any more...
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoThey're not. Over 10 years, our ISPs went from "imminent deployment" to "looking into it" to "what is IPv6?". In 2030 we won't have native IPv6 and it won't be on the drawing board.
- jlokier 6y agoThis is mostly about mobile devices, where IPv6 and/or avoiding NAT don't solve the main problems. You'd need mobile IPv6, and background applications that don't get killed while listening to a socket. As far as I know, neither of those are commonly available.
