I’ve had a related idea that doesn’t require router support. Create a standard protocol+library that implements IPv6-over-UDP-over-IPv4 and automatically does NAT hole-punching via STUN (and the like). Create a DHT for keeping track of STUN rendezvous points, and use AnyCast to allow nodes to bootstrap into the DHT.
