<para>In Shorewall6, there is no NAT of any kind (Netfilter6 doesn't

support any form of NAT). Most people consider this to be a giant

step forward.</para>

<para>When an ISP assigns you an IPv6 address, you are actually

assigned an IPv6 <firstterm>prefix</firstterm> (similar to a

subnet). A 64-bit prefix defines a subnet with 4 billion hosts

squared (the size of the IPv4 address space squared). Regardless of
|

the length of your prefix, you get to assign local addresses within
|

that prefix.</para>
