But if you want to make use of things like VoIP you would need a fixed address, non private, because you do want to do things needing being accessible.
That is not the case from the end user's POV. I have a NAT and Vop "router" behind it. Whether I was using a NAT or not the ATA box needs to have the address of the ISP. How the ISP implement things, load balancing or otherwise, is their decision. My setup is going to be the same, NAT or not, IPv4 or IPv6.
You need a special router that is VoIp aware, and/or you need to connect to a STUN server, which helps traverse the NAT router. With IPv6 you need neither. In fact, you could address someone's phone by something like "phone://IP-Addres" instead of or "protocol://who@server_provider", where the directory server does a directory search to translate your given name to the IP where you can be found. Ie, IPv6 allows non-anonymous peer to peer services without intermediaries. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
