Isn't this just a kludge? Shouldn't we work on improving the available networks so we don't need this malarkey?
Yep. Moving to IPv6 will address some of these issues. For example, mobile IPv6 handles the problem of moving between networks. If only people would put the same effort into moving to IPv6 as they do into creating hacks to extend IPv4... What is needed is a network where every device gets it's own public IP address. That ain't gonna happen with IPv4, where there are already more mobile devices than possible addresses, even ignoring the fact that most IPv4 addresses have already been assigned to wired devices. I've been running IPv6 on my home network for almost 5 years
