It is perfectly possible to have a small box that looks, feels and smells just the same as your NAT/firewall box, but routes ipv6 instead of ipv4. It gives the same security, the machines on our local lan are shielded from the Internet to the same degree. Except for NAT itself, anything that these boxes do can be done as well or even better with ipv6.
Only one difference: the ipv6 box will not break active FTP, VPN and, video conferencing as NAT does.
