Re: The Reg does 240/4

Depends what size block is being traded. Prices for /16 and larger have been flat since 2021. One thing is for sure: the cost for any size block has not dropped back to 2013 levels. Consider also that providers are starting to pass the charges onto their customers, like $DAYJOB-1 (an NSP) and now AWS this year. Those who may not be trading address blocks are starting to feel the bite. -Brian On Feb 15, 2024, at 5:31 PM, Tom Beecher <beec...@beecher.cc> wrote:  $/IPv4 address peaked in 2021, and has been declining since.  On Thu, Feb 15, 2024 at 16:05 Brian Knight via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote: On 2024-02-15 13:10, Lyndon Nerenberg (VE7TFX/VE6BBM) wrote: > I've said it before, and I'll say it again: > >   The only thing stopping global IPv6 deployment is >   Netflix continuing to offer services over IPv4. > > If Netflix dropped IPv4, you would see IPv6 available *everywhere* > within a month. As others have noted, and to paraphrase a long-ago quote from this mailing list, I'm sure all of Netflix's competitors hope Netflix does that. I remain hopeful that the climbing price of unique, available IPv4 addresses eventually forces migration to v6. From my armchair, only through economics will this situation will be resolved. > --lyndon -Brian
