They cannot however (at least to my knowledge) use UPnP        VS> or any other protocol to request a router to open a hole for incoming        VS> traffic in an *IPv6* firewall.              I see. Or so I think. You ask for some kind of "IPv6 equivalent" for UPnP. But       why would you want that? UpNP is a questionable idea anyway. For IPv4 it       creates an entry in de NAT table and as a side effect creates a hole in the       firewall.              But why would you need that for IPv6?              For IPv6 there (normally) is no NAT, so no need to create an entry in a NAT       table. In IPv6 avery device has a Unique Global Address, so one can simply       create pinholes in advance as needed for the address in question.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 19/10 90/1 103/705 104/117 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/470 550 664 700 240/1120 5832 250/1 266/512 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5006 5555 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/267       SEEN-BY: 633/280 281 410 412 418 420 509 712/848 770/1 5019/40 5020/545       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 633/280 229/426           |
