NAT traversal not needed. Just need to deal with firewalls. So that's one fewer thing to think about when doing peer-to-peer file sharing over the internet.

“Just need to deal with firewalls.”

The only sane thing to do in a SLAAC setup is block everything. So no, it isn’t a solved problem just because you used ipv6.

[kccqzy]

No. Here's a simple strategy: the two peers send each other a few packets simultaneously, then the firewall will open because by default almost all firewalls allow response traffic. IPv6 simplifies things because you know exactly what address to send to.

[ectospheno]

That is my point. You hole punch in that scenario even without NAT. It is no easier.

It's easier since you don't don't have to deal with symmetric nat, external IP address discovery and port mapping.
