How long, exactly, do you expect 3.2 billion unicast addresses to provide enough addressing for 6.8+ billion people? Oh, I'd say a decade. Like I said, I have IPv6 on my server and my home broadband, which mostly works, with the emphasis on the mostly. We've just barely started to move from

IPv4 has already been trading around $10/address. So the prices quoted a while back don’t make much sense to me. Further, could you please quantify “vast”? How many /8 equivalents in a “vast number”? Until they ran out, APNIC was issuing approximately 1.5 /8s per month. How long, exactly, do yo

Let’s assume, for a moment, that there are 32 /8s out there that could be reclaimed. Let’s further assume that renumbering out of a /8 takes, on average, about 18 months. (That’s moving almost 1,000,000 customers per month on average, potentially). Even if we got all 32 /8 equivalents back over

In order for IPv6 to truly work, everyone needs to be moving towards IPv6. Maintaining dual protocols for the entire internet is problematic, wasteful, and horribly inefficient at best. Bottom line, the internet outgrew IPv4 almost 30 years ago and we’ve been using various hacks like NAT as a so
