> * My point is that* because of the fact that your home router still firewalls with both IPv6 and IPv4, any software which relies on being able to "just" connect to a peer over the internet, is doomed.
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.
