Setting aside the sad story part for the moment, Would this be a good subject for a BOF? Are there others who would be willing to participate (residendential,transit or dc operators, and potentially vendors of equipment or address transfer brokers). I'd call it something like: IPV4 runout - Doing more with less. * IPV4 runout means new entrants will from the outset deploy techniques the present operators consider undesirable. * IPV6 should be appearing as part and parcel of new greenfield projects I would think. * On the vendor side CGN hardware is becoming a mature product space. * Datacenter/ICP operators confront a similar set of problems both supporting outgoing connections for large pools and incoming termination. >
