That is an option. But in order to not punish late entries to the market,
Some "late entries" are/will not be market driven. Some
companies/organisations could only be searching for a way to become
independent from their ISPs/suppliers, and the only way they can do that
(IPv4-wise) is to become a LIR and get their own chunk. I also hope that
by doing so, they will also be flooded with information about IPv6.
it should also include a fixed timeframe when
EVERYBODY has to stop using v4 (at least on the public Internet) ...
A flag day won't work. There are simply too many networks.
I don't see any technical reason why providers all over
the world still aren't able (or willing) to do v6 ... of course I know
you can't force customers to provide services on v6 (or even to use v6 -
Yes, that's the main point. People use what they know it works, and they
need to be comfortable about what they are using/managing.
If all networks in the world were run by 10 or 100 people, then yes, an
agreed change would be possible. However, that's not the case, so
co-existence for a long period is unavoidable.
I believe of our customers, maybe 1% actively use v6, and another few
percent use it unknowingly :) ).
Yes, people should be using IPv6 unknowingly (in a transparent way), but
it's useful that network managers and sysadmins know about it :-)
From our point of view, we could drop external v4 pretty quickly if it
weren't required to reach (or be reached) by v4-only users/services ...
That's everyone's case, i'm afraid :-))
I've been deploying and advocating IPv6 since 2001. Others have been doing
it for a longer period. Within this timespan, i have only read about *one*
organisation which publicly expressed plans to scrap IPv4 from their
network/services, but they have dropped that in the meanwhile...
IPv6 will not happen by decree, it is happenning, slowly, due to need and
a vision for Internet's growth (imho).
Best Regards,
Carlos
