[AusNOG] DS-Lite is IPv6-only from outside...

[Shannon Gernyi]

If one really wanted to try and justify this, I guess you could go for a reduction in processing overhead in IPv6, compared to IPv4, but, since we're splitting hairs here, you also gain an extra 20 bytes in L3 header. That being said, in a gaming application, it's not like you're maxing frame size anyway...

Err...yeah - I tried. You're not perceiving the reduction in processing overhead, in the real world... I'm just going to stick with Nathan on this one... BS

The only advantage I'm seeing with 128bit addresses is the lack of outbound NAT - direct-connection games just got easier!

Cheers,

Shannon
