		wmf 45 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8) how does a IPv4 host initiate a connection to a IPv8 host? If you give up on P2P it just doesn't. All servers have IPv4 and NAT64 (or whatever they call it) handles v6-only clients.

Sure, but then it's not as "plug and play" as they make it out to be. Many multiplayer games rely on P2P these days for example.
