Lets talk about NAT.

It should - but knowing the past - the console vendors will find a way to screw that up as well

ISPs and router manufacturers are already taking care of that unfortunately...

This is something I admit never crossed my mind, but IPv6 deployment will actually be a boon to online gamers whose game rely on P2P. Just need to open (for REAL, this time - those NAT guides will finally be technically accurate LOL!) the required ports in the firewall.

I hope so.

Last 4 years have been horrible on p2p games for me.

A question.

If i use dmz why would i still be on moderate NAT?
Does it mean the fibre modem has some form of nat?


My set up is the usual fibre setup.
Fibre modem and router.
The phone runs off the fbre modem though.

No doubt, esp, in IPv4 space, where we've seen more ISP's go with Carrier Grade NAT's, which breaks a ton of stuff...
