   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
