IPv6
wolfv:
Ostracus is right, IPv6 would eliminate the NAT traversal problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_traversal#The_NAT_traversal_problem
Routers may still have NAT for the purpose compatibility with old IPv4 devices. It makes sense for OBIHAI to wait and rewrite OBi software when it is needed, which may be several years away.
After thinking about it some more, I am no longer worried about the IPv6 issue :). Thank you for your inputs.

All of your equipment will be out of date before this becomes an issue. Most of my stuff is IPV6 ready. I can use IPV6 on my home network but it does me no good whatsoever because my ISP doesn't support it. Most ISPs don't support IPV6. I really don't see a reason to worry about it yet. I must admit I am waiting for the day it get's turned on.
Test your IPV6 readiness here.

You can get a tunnel through Hurricane Electric if your ISP isn't ready (mine isn't).

I looked into getting a tunnel and I can't see any plus side. It seems to me the only thing it would really do is increase latency and cost money. Google actually recommends not using a tunnel unless you have a darn good reason. What are the benefits?
Shameless:
The SIP spec already takes care of both IPV4 and 6 During DNS lookup an A record is issued for IPV 4 and an AAAA record is issued for IPV 6. The proper record is properly resolved in the 110/202 resolver, unless it's busted. This leaves you with having to worry about the router function only. If your 202 is behind a IPV 6 ready gateway router to the Internet you should be okay, though different ISPs may handle things differently. Not sure about google jingle for google voice. How it gets through NAT , PAT, I dont know. Maybe someone out there could fill this in?
