        Care to explain?

        NAT adds latency plus it makes end to end connections very hard to do. IPv6 on the other hand makes thing much simpler since you don’t need to guess the ports.

          I do a lot of networking and I like being able to remember IPs and subnetting is a lot easier. I haven’t really realized any issues with latency. Haven’t really had to guess ports either as NAT handles that. I think IPv6 is a good idea and works great for computers, but as I human I prefer IPv4.
