bureaucracy, but in this case it's also how said bureaucracy can delay
operational changes.
I was a contractor for one of the many branches of the DoD in charge

my reading of the past case agrees with yours for the most part - but
the current case is Sable Networks suing Cloudflare over a patent

There's some queue-jumping happening for other reasons -
medical/hospital a significant portion of that - but even there I'm
hearing 6+ months for some switch hardware and Cisco APs are pretty

There's more to it than this too. I was down there (I have sites I'm
responsible for in Panama City Beach) in February and I was talking to a
bunch of folks in the area as a result. This storm was fairly unusual for
the area for a number of reasons. One, it normally doesn't hit the

I think he's referring to all the Unicast IPv6 outside of 2000::/3 getting
designated as "reserved", and therefore no gear will ever successfully
route it... just like happened with the Class E space.
You'd think we would know better than to let that happen, but there's a lot

That's all well and good Owen, and the math is compelling, but 30 years ago
if you'd told anyone that we'd go through all four billion IPv4 addresses
in anyone's lifetime, they'd have looked at you like you were stark raving
mad. That's what's really got most of the people who want (dare I say more
