I see. Or so I think. You ask for some kind of "IPv6 equivalent" for UPnP. But
why would you want that? UpNP is a questionable idea anyway. For IPv4 it
creates an entry in de NAT table and as a side effect creates a hole in the
firewall.

But why would you need that for IPv6?

For IPv6 there (normally) is no NAT, so no need to create an entry in a NAT
table. In IPv6 avery device has a Unique Global Address, so one can simply
create pinholes in advance as needed for the address in question.


Cheers, Michiel
