One of the key priorities of IPv6 as touted by its       proponents is the end-to-end connectivity, freedom from NAT.               DP> Not sure if your router can handle it.              Do not want :-)              Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN       --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20170303-b20170303        * Origin: Ulthar (2:5005/49)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 50/109 80/1 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 154/10       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 226/30 227/702 229/424 426 550 700 1016 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 5555 282/464 1038       SEEN-BY: 301/0 1 101 113 812 317/3 322/757 342/200 460/58 463/68 467/239       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 920/1 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49 53       SEEN-BY: 5015/46 5020/715 830 846 1042 2047 2140 4441 5053/54 5058/104       SEEN-BY: 5064/56 5083/1 444       PATH: 5005/49 5020/1042 301/1 229/426           |
