Re: It'll be a slow process
I disagree. NAT was a very good solution. If it wasn't for this solution we wouldn't be talking about going to IPv6 chances are we would already be there or much further in the process. NAT absolutely change the ip addressing game. They said we would run out of addresses in/before 2000 and we are still have about 40% free.
Right now there are roughly 1.5 billion online in the world. There are defiantly more devices then humans online by that count. I agree it's not unreasonable for the average Joe to need 3+ online devices, but its also unreasonable to think that each one of those devices will need it's own public IP address. Most things work fine with private ip and NAT.
Yes we will run out of addresses at some point, but it has and will take longer than what people think. |
