IPv6 features

[utis]

Hi,

As of feb, there will be global DNS IPv6 enabled at root-servers.

Please add option to:

* enable IPv6-only mode

* have both for trackers but only IPv6 for peers(and DHT)

* give IPv6 slots priority(as there would be no NAT, therefore more chance to get better connection)

* enable separable debugging for v4 and v6, peers, DHT and oth.

I imagine this as drop-down list in "Connection" tab:

Internet Protocol: Both/IPv4/IPv6/IPv4 Priority/IPv6 priority

Custom:

Trackers: Both/IPv4/IPv6/IPv4 Priority/IPv6 priority

Peers: Both/IPv4/IPv6/IPv4 Priority/IPv6 priority

....

... NAT still exists for IPv6. Unless you're talking about most consumer hardware not even being IPv6 aware, in which case I see that as an oversight to be addressed in the future.

why would anyone use nat instead firewall?

[jewelisheaven]

... NAT is a generic description of a "firewall" in use on routers... Creating virtual networks upon a single endpoint to the internet. I am not knowledgable in IPv6 to debate the relative merits of the functionality you're asking for, but I do think trying to add more to a context menu would be overkill for 99.8% of the users at this juncture.

IPv6 only won't help you at all. And a connection is a connection, be it IPv6, IPv4, NATed, whatever.

Anyway, this will be a "no" for now anyway.

I do understand that sounds strange to you, but this might give some more insight: http://www.ipv6.com/articles/blog/Comcast-Verizon-Filtering-P2P-Traffic.htm .
