The internet just BROKE under its own weight – we explain how

NAT is a kludge

It breaks a shedload of things and I wish "we" had never pushed it out in the early 1990s

IPv6 works just fine and instead of a NAT box you use a firewall if you want internal stuff to not see (or be seen by) the Internet at large. Decent enduser routers can do IPv4 NAT and IPv6 firewalling simultaneously with rulesets linked (Mine does)

Of course all those sub-par BT homehubs and other pieces of cheap ISP shite won't, but that's not my problem :)
