Using Semi-FREE 64-bit Allocations with IPv6

Using Semi-FREE 64-bit Allocations with IPv6 Why would anyone be paying for IPv6 Address Space ? With the 64-bit Address Plan huge allocations are ?$10? per year. 12+18+30+4 maps to LL+LLL+L+4 Use the 64-symbol Alphabet: 0-9A-Za-z-. for 6-bits per L Example: LL=US LLL=COM L=ICANN US_C

Likely /8 Scenario - Carriers will TAKE what they want ?

Likely /8 Scenario - Carriers will TAKE what they want ? As /8s are needed by Carriers (not ISPs) they will likely be able to just take them. Who will stop them. They have the Imperial Walker Routers & Gear. http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.txt http://en.wiki

RIRs are More Interested in Selling NEW than Pre-Owned?

RIRs are More Interested in Selling NEW than Pre-Owned? It is a myth that IPv4 is "out of space". It has the same space it started with if 32-bits are routed. More bits can easily be used for routing purposes before switching to IPv6. People seem to be happy with 34 bits, one extra bit at each end

33-Bit Addressing via ONE bit or TWO bits ? does NANOG care?

33-Bit Addressing via ONE bit or TWO bits ? does NANOG care? As some people (who understand IPv4) know, there is a SINGLE spare/unused bit in the IPv4 header that can be set to 0 or 1. Some religions require that it be set to 0. Adult content is marked with a 1. That single bit can be viewed as c

What is "The Internet" TCP/IP or UNIX-to-UNIX ? As of 2010, many people would likely answer that question based on the Services they use as opposed to a religious adoration for TCP/IP. What if TCP is removed ? and IP is completely re-worked in the same 160-bit foot-print as IPv4 ? Would 64-bit Ad
