I'm aware of STUN, but haven't investigated WebRTC enough to see what it uses. However, STUN is a hack made necessary by NAT. With IPv6 and it's incredible number of public unicast addresses, NAT & STUN are not needed. As long as we're all dual-stack, NAT and STUN will remain though.
All we can do is encourage the use of IPv6. Without it there are simply not enough IP addresses. For example, there are already more mobile devices than there are IPv4 addresses. Sticking with IPv4 means hack upon hack upon hack, to get around the limitations caused by the lack of address space, while still inhibiting proper use of the Internet. This is before we even consider other advantages of IPv6 beyond address space. My home network has been fully functional on IPv6 for about 4.5 years. IPv6 is used whenever possible, whether on my local LAN or out to the Internet. My own IPv6 subnet has about a trillion times the entire IPv4 address space. I haven't used all those addresses yet. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
