At what point will NAT no longer be required? Is IPv6 really seen as a successor or just a supplement to IPv4?

- v4<->v4 increasingly requires NAT due to scarcity
- v6<->v6 does not require NAT
- v6<->v4 requires NAT but does not require your v6 device also have a v4 address
Until the v6<->v4 is no longer needed you will always have some form of NAT as there aren't enough addresses to give everyone a v4.

At least in gaming, ipv6 causes issues especially together with NAT or dual stack lite...
