Guide 15: Enable IPv6 — Reducing NAT Overhead and Improving Routing Efficiency
Direct end-to-end addressing eliminates Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) latency bottlenecks.
Because the world has exhausted IPv4 addresses, many ISPs route residential customers through Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT). CGNAT forces your traffic through multiple intermediate translation gateways, introducing jitter, packet loss, and double-NAT issues for online gaming.
The IPv6 Advantage
IPv6 provides direct end-to-end device routability without Network Address Translation. Enabling native IPv6 in your router settings allows your gaming console or PC to communicate directly with game servers, frequently reducing ping by 5 to 15 milliseconds.
