Re: Not a lot of IPv6 for anyone!

If some of these companies who own a buttload of IP's that only really need a small handful can actually be 'green' in terms of IP shortage, it'd certainly prolong the impending crisis quite a bit.

Got quite a number of companies out there who only really realistically need a couple internet-facing IP's yet they could own whole C or B blocks wasting hundreds to tens of thousands of ip's that could go to better use elsewhere. Buy an IP at a time like everyone else from your upstream ISP.

I swear, some people should have pace-makers installed to free up the resources. Breathing and heart beat taxes their whole system, all of their brain cells wasted on life support.-two bit brains, and the second bit is wasted on parity! ~head_spaz

Misallocation is the word! Yes, supposedly a few dozen organizations in the U.S. have as many IPs as the whole continent of Africa.

Reallocating these may turn out to be a stopgap, but this only delays the day of reckoning. We really need something that makes it worthwhile for each organization to add ipv6 support.

There are efforts underway to make ipv4 and ipv6 coexist in a way that would smooth the transition.
