NAT Is the Enemy of Low Power Devices

- steve_avery 2y agoPerhaps I am underthinking things here, but this seems like a good use case to just use UDP here. Save all the power consumed in the original connection set up and just the router will handle NAT re-allocation whenever you phone home, right? Responses to those messages should be properly routed to your device. Building on top of TCP seems like a lot of effort for this network situation

- acdha 2y agoIPv6 is about 40% of Internet traffic and climbing. It’s disappointing that it hasn’t been faster but I think that qualifies as scale. https://radar.cloudflare.com/adoption-and-usage https://radar.cloudflare.com/adoption-and-usage
