While I do quite enjoy the occasional IPv6/IPv4 advocacy discussion, I would indeed prefer to keep *this* list a bit more focused on *address policy related* topics:
and we need policies for those that want some of the remaining IPv4 numbers.
The problem is that IPv4 address policy is affected a *LOT* by an answer to the following question:
When IPv6 will be really deployed?
Depends on what you mean with that :) There are a lot of "depends" for a lot of questions. If you want a question answered you'll have to elaborate a lot on what you exactly mean. There are two known things though: - IPv4 address space is running short, and IANA will run out sooner or later, most likely in the next two years. - At that point in time your business has to have a solution. Possible solutions: - Do IPv6 - scales quite well, requires upgrades - Do IPv4 CGN - doesn't scale. Your pick on WHEN you are going to do that. Can do it today, can do it in ten years when the competition has your customers. Enjoy ;) Greets, Jeroen
