Hi,
Forrest:
1)
" if you have IPv6 service and I have IPv6 service, our IPv6
devices can talk directly to each other without needing any VPN
or similar. ":
Thanks. So, is it true that the reason IPv4 could not do so is
solely because it does not have enough static addresses for
every subscriber?
2) "
... taking other security/safety steps. (Like the PSTN, the
internet can be tapped). ":
Agreed. However, the extra steps should be for those who have
some secret to hide. In the PSTN days, most traffic was voice
and no encryption. For the Internet, everything is digitized.
Distinguishing among voice and data becomes extra work. So, I
see the tendency to encrypt everything.
Regards,
Abe

Yes, if you have IPv6 service and I have IPv6
service, our IPv6 devices can talk directly to each other
without needing any VPN or similar. And yes, this is
available today.
Note that just like the PSTN you might not want to do
this without encryption and taking other security/safety
steps. (Like the PSTN, the internet can be tapped).
