I don't have the money to run anything bigger than a router 24x7. My days of running big servers at home are over.
We'll see more of those. I also know people who would like to
become informed
of any IPv6-capable SIP phones on the market.
That would be handy, though the SIP gateways I use don't support IPv6 (yet).
FreeSWITCH and Asterisk both support it. I don't know of any SIP to PSTN gateway available through an ISP that does, but on the other hand, IPv6 certainly simplifies making calls to other peoples' SIP clients or FreeSWITCH/Asterisk systems (provided they have it on their networks, of course). In essence, NAT goes away.
Yeah, the sooner we get rid of NAT, the better. It complicates so many things. :-( IPv6 is the only way we're going to get rid of NAT. :-) Yes, the software may support it, but it's often sitting on networks that don't. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
