Yet another victim of IPv4, and you still find countless detractors of IPv6 on every thread where it's mentioned.

IPv4 support is necessary, but IPv6 isn't

How would ipv6 handle it

You just send packets to the other party's address and they send packets back to yours. Both parties know their address and you don't need a relay in the middle.

This really isn't the case, because people still have firewalls.

It's not really relevant in this case since one endpoint is a massive server farm.
