Hehe. ;-) That's both provocative and wrong. An IPv6 router can, at a |
| 7 |
glance, decide if a packet needs to be handled locally or pushed out. No |
| 8 |
need for mangling/rewriting as IPv4 NAT would require. It does not |
| 9 |
matter if the packet arrives at the router via a link-local address, |
| 10 |
because it contains the sender's global scope address and replies can |
| 11 |
therefore be sent back with another single glance. |
