Re: Re: IPv6 only devices in home network

So I think it is old issue which has been discussed here for such a long time. It's a fact that NATs exist almost everywhere in the current ISP network. Maybe Teredo is a better solution?
After all, we need a convenient and not costly way to cope with NAT problems during the transition period.
