IP6 doesn't need NAT. NAT is only used because of the shortage of IP4
addresses.

Oh! So IP6 doesn't use NAT and every computer's private IP address is sent
publicly? I presume there is still the concept of a firewall which allows
computers on the private (LAN) side of the router to communicate whereas
those outside on the internet (WAN) side cannot communicate with a PC -
unless it's as a response to a request that a PC made.
