STUN also isn’t guaranteed if the router is strict. IPv6 removes a lot of these unknown and strange ways that IPv4 infrastructure can break things.


Yep, my point was just that STUN works far more frequently than explicit port forwarding protocols. Part of the reason (for better or worse) is that most major console networks (Xbox live, PSN, etc) will grade your connection poorly if STUN doesn’t work. Customers who otherwise don’t know about networking do complain to ISPs about this sort of thing.
