We may discuss the past, if you wish, but the present is what matters. And, today, NAT is, and IPv6 is not.

- orangeboats 3y agoActually, IPv6 is! Just that you are not using it doesn't mean half of the internet isn't using IPv6 right now.
- izacus 3y agoIPv6 behind an equivalence of NAT is. :D
- themoonisachees 3y agoYou seem to be conflating a stateful firewall with a NAT. Unless you really need to, you're never doing NAT on ipv6.
- izacus 3y agoNo, we're not doing NAT, but the devices aren't really accessible from the wide web either. In this case "NAT" is just an implementation detail and getting rid of it didn't bring any of the benefits IPv6 promised.
- throw0101c 3y ago> No, we're not doing NAT, but the devices aren't really accessible from the wide web either. Which is a policy issue (implemented through rules on a firewall), and not an inherent limitation of the technology (like NAT is).
