Hehe. ;-) That's both provocative and wrong. An IPv6 router can, at a glance, decide if a packet needs to be handled locally or pushed out. No need for mangling/rewriting as IPv4 NAT would require. It does not matter if the packet arrives at the router via a link-local address, because it contains the sender's global scope address and replies can therefore be sent back with another single glance. -Ralph
