Re: It'll be a slow process

I understand the need for IPV6 fully. I do however disagree whole heartedly with impending Doom scenarios. We COULD buy AT LEAST 10 years if we reclaimed all the sat up IPV4 addresses being held hostage..its just simple math.

It's going to probably take those 10 years to get everyone over to IPv6.

No, simple math tells us we can't. At the current rate of usage the free pool will be exhausted in one to two years. Reclaiming all /8s would give us perhaps one more year. There are currently 47 remaining unallocated /8s. If those will be allocated in two years, as the best estimates indicate, what good will reclaiming all of the 37ish legacy /8 allocations (most of which are in use, mind you!) do us? Buy us another year?

That makes about as much sense as delaying the DTV transition did.

Your estimate is off by nearly an order of magnitude. Perhaps you should not talk of simple math when you cannot perform simple math yourself?

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.

I simply disagree, I STILL come across networks where EVERY device has a ROUTABLE IP instread of a natted address. Please there are Admins out there, apparently you as well, who do not understand 1 to many....
