With IPv6 the only thing you need is PCP (or equivalent).
With IPv4 you need PCP/whatever plus a whole bunch of STUN/TURN/ICE infrastructure.
Just hole punching is a lot easier to support than more-than-just hole punching.
- saurik 2y agoIf you have PCP (NAT-PMP or whatever), why would you need STUN or TURN? (You still might like ICE, but ICE also makes sense to have on IPV6.)
