But, that requires (in my understanding) keys in DNS, which really needs a secure DNS infrastructure to be, well, secure......
The new UDP-based RTMFP protocol that just shipped in Flash Player 10 will automatically use IPv6 for both client-server (to Flash Media Server) and direct Flash Player-to-Flash Player communication if there is a working IPv6 path between the endpoints and it is at least as fast or faster than the IPv4 path latency-wise. (Not that there are many of those these days... but as they start to exist, you'll start seeing the traffic on them) It is also encrypted and (in some cases) authenticated.
