Call it NATv6, whatever. Nobody is going to remember addresses by hand, name servers (DNS or local scope as avahi) will be the rule. And DHCPv6 (or router advertisement) is how you provide your hosts access. Maybe internal servers, such as smbfs or NFS, could be only at link scope addresses? No need to renumerate, and full protection from outsiders. > > Regards, > -drc > > > Seriously, Felipe
