Hate to rain on your parade, but ISP-level NAT is coming (it's already here on mobile) and it breaks P2P. Hole-punching doesn't work, you can't manually open ports, and they don't support UPnP. If everyone is behind a nat who is left to tunnel through? Why, a central platform! Skype already went down this road.
- jordanthoms 14y agoHopefully ISPs will be smart enough to provide native ipv6 before they start doing NAT on their ipv4 addresses.
- rabidsnail 14y agoGiven that they're all also cable tv providers, I'm not sure how smart providing ipv6 would be.
- btbuilder 14y agoWhy would UDP holepunching be affected?
