Hi, Owen:

1)    "  ...  IPv4 used to work before NAT made everything horrible.  ":

    Utilizing 240/4, RAN is a flat space which should support this kind of rudimentary end-to-end connectivity within each RAN. (called L2 routing, correct?)

Any host connected to a reasonably well peered ISP (e.g. NOT Cogent) with IPv6 should be able to communicate with any other such host so long as the administrative policies on both sides permit it.

I have no difficulty directly reaching a variety of IPv6 hosts from the /48 in my home.

However, it’s not like dial-up modem operations in the PSTN in that IP is an inherently connectionless packet switched service while modems were an inherently circuit switched connection oriented service.

However, it does work like IPv4 used to work before NAT made everything horrible.

Hi, Forrest:

1)    I have a question:

    If I subscribe to IPv6, can I contact another similar subscriber to communicate (voice and data) directly between two homes in private like the dial-up modem operations in the PSTN? If so, is it available anywhere right now?

Regards,
