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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21245139 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:17:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21243475 Vchat20 : 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]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21243475 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:12:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21243342 swhx7 : This page »utility.nokia.net/%7Elars/meter/ipv6.html shows the current state of ipv6 adoption, to some degree of statistical estimation.

It seems there's not enough incentive for each ISP or server admin to put it in place. So apparently what's going to happen is, everyone will wait until there's a crisis, or some sort of mandate.

The IPv4 addresses will last another year to a few years, according to the experts.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21243342 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:47:47 EDT
