I thought that each individual device got an IPV6 address so no more NATing?

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

This. You'll still need NAT for IPv4 services though.

hamish225: oh i see, why would a residential customer need more than one ipv6 address though?

Hamish we're moving into an era (and some might argue 'error') of a 'dual stacked' world.

Every device will have an IPv4 address as well as any number of IPv6 addresses.

In the IPv6 world, your devices will all have a globally reasonable[1] IPv6 address.

[1] Having said that, it's not quite correct either. Consumer routers will still have firewalls which will only allow established and related connections. This means that if your computer "pings" my computer then I'll be able to "ping" your computer. But if you haven't 'opened a connection' then I don't be able to see your computer...

...but even that's not quite right either, because routers need to not block ICMP6 packets (which is what ping uses) or other things about your network will break.

...and this is my current understanding of it all.

I suggest to you that part of the reason for slow v6 uptake is issues like this. People like me are very unsure about v6 so we're not running at it fast. We're just waiting to see how it unfolds and pushing it in places where we are more confident we won't break stuff.

We need training, and lots of it.

This is an issue that I have talked to APNIC about.

They currently are planning training in Auckland in May (it might have already started and finished, I can't remember when it was).

I've asked about training for Christchurch. APNIC are busy until September (or they were when I talked to them in March).

Klipspringer: I make use of dyndns.org. If you router supports it its pretty easy to setup.

Its solved my problem of ever requiring a static IP address. But then Im not running a business

Yeah I use No-IP and my DD-WRT based router auto updates it quite happily. (I use No-IP as I have it set up with a custom domain name).

That said, if your ISP decides they want to put you behind some CGNAT, then this won't work any more. And some ISPs are already doing this.

Nothing is wrong with NAT'ing. I was referring to your post about why a customer would end up with more than one IPV6 address.

The really interesting bit (to many anyway) is that devices end up with more than one IPv6 address.

It's a whole new way of thinking.

It does all have cross over, but it's going to take some learning.

NAT is horrible and breaks many things as well as making it harder for developers of thing like voice/video real time communications. I have public IPv4 on all my server salso as it makes DNS sooo much simpler

Out of curiosity, anyone know how much a /27 or /28 would cost these days?

I've long toyed with the idea of getting one for home, but I suspect it would be expensive these days.

That's fine for frontend servers, however security is all about layers of defense, having a 'target' on a publicly routable address allows someone one step closer to your soft gooey center which you want to protect.

Too many times I have seen someone botch up an ACL or firewall policy allowing WAY more access to servers than should be allowed.

Totally agree that NAT makes some things difficult though

yeah but for people who just want to go on twitter, read the news, check their emails and play online games, why do we all need public ip's on our devices?
