</div>NAT and the associated loss of the original peer-based structure of the<br>
Internet has done immeasureable damage to Internet innovation. Asymmetric<br>
network connections and ISP terms of service that restrict home "consumers"<br>
from running "servers" have also done some damage, but we can mostly deal<br>
with the former and just ignore the latter. NAT, on the other hand, is a<br>
killer.<br>
<br>
IPv6 is our best hope, but adoption is agonizingly slow. Comcast has<br>
announced that their network will provide IPv6 to all subscribers in the next<br>
two years; hopefully that will catalyze other ISPs to follow suit, and home<br>
router manufacturers to properly configure their v6 stacks. But at best<br>
we're probably 5 years from realistically being able to expect every home<br>
user to just have a v6 connection. At best.<br>
