Let's talk about yum and p2p in Fedora

[S Mathias]

theoretically there are Unique Local Addresses (ULAs)

but i think when ipv6 will be widely used [don't know when:D we got about: 49 days? hmmm... - https://ipv6.he.net/statistics/ ] "they" want that, that every computer must have a public ipv6 address, so that it can be natively accessible by the "outside world" [fixme] - so computers must have good firewalls... i hope that all the distributions, linux, bsd, everything will come with these default firewall settings in the future, to ensure security, e.g.:
