   Dear Jay,

   I have been always of the opinion that port forwarding is never needed in IPv6   
   because no NAT is ever involved (and port forwarding is part of the   
   destination NAT technology). If you had IPv6 port forwarding (in the IPv4 way)   
   on some device, please surprise me!   
      
   It is also difficult to believe that a fancy router does not have a built-in   
   IPv6 firewall (if a firewall is meant by "port opening").

   My home MikroTik hAP ac3 does not support NAT or port forwarding in IPv6   
   (which is expected) but has a nice IPv6 stateful firewall with connection   
   tracking (in fact it's iptables inside). I have eventually moved all my IPv6   
   tunneling to MikroTik and I'm very happy about it's performance.
