As for Q7: With IPv6, NAT isn't "obsolete" as much as there is the designers refuse to create official specification for it (although many vendors are implementing it). You are right, all your devices will have public IP addresses, and no, you can't simply assume that your firewall will be working. Most consumer-grade equipment relies only on NAT for filtering, and routers that support IPv6 often pass it through unfiltered. | |
