That's easy.
Your router (or rather, the DSLAM at the local exchange) simply forwards all your traffic to a router at the ISP. The DSLAM neither knows nor cares about IP addresses, ports or anything. It just provides a bi-directional pipe for stuff to go up and down.
I know it's easy, thanks to PPPoE. The curious part is that the phone company is the main carrier around here, yet is stuck in the past, when it comes to IPv6. Other carriers here have no problem providing IPv6. These companies have to accept the idea that the world is moving to IPv6 because IPv4 has long been inadequate. He.net is an option for those who have real IPv4 addresses but, as you show, being stuck behind NAT denies even that.
What could work is each of those computers setting up a tunnel from their side to an external, public machine, which then provides another address on its own network. And route them. TeamViewer and others can also work, if each computer logins at an intermediary, and the intermediary routes the protocol. But they never can interconnect directly, this is denied. All that is a hack. Of course IPv6 is the correct solution, unless some one decides to put people on private ranges again. :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
