Health of the public DHT

IPFS has experienced a huge growth in nodes on the main ipfs swarm. This is of course very good, but a downside is that the global DHT is currently not in a good state due to the fact that many of these nodes are behind a NAT or worse.

Is there a public place where you can check the current global DHT health? It might be good to have some kind of status page hosted on ipfs.io. When can we expect the current situation to improve?

I don’t know much about this so I am always afraid to say something very stupid, but I hope IPv6 will become more widespread in the years to come so that NAT will slowly disappear.
