I'm not sure what NAT44 has to do with it.  

The point is that there is *native* IPv6 and the XBox insists on preferring 
Teredo - and the AVM box blocks Teredo if it has native IPv6, because there
is no real use in permitting an "tunnel IPv6 around the IPv4-only router!"
protocol when there *is* a perfectly good IPv6-capable router around...
