Hi Aleksi, Thanks for your email, Can you please give me some example of developing countries that are "skipping IPv4 completely"? I think there are still good numbers that need to use IPv4 because of their developing stage. (no matter how hard community policies make it for them, when there is no IPv6 option they just can't use it). If we as the community are looking for additional distribution of last /8 (as suggested by Yuri), I think It would be better to consider their conditions too.

In some countries (Like Iran) IPv6 deployments is not an option at the moment (or new future) as the regulatory and authorities do not allow to use it.
Developing countries with no IPv6 option have to use IPv4, the current policies forced them to become a buyer and that create a good IPv4 market.
Honestly? Most developing countries are skipping IPv4 completely or as much as possible. If Iran has really banned IPv6 they deserve to pay themselves sick for IPv4. Furthermore, RIPE NCC does not have enough IPv4 addresses to give Iranians, even if we as a community wished for a special Iranian policy. -- Aleksi Suhonen () ascii ribbon campaign /\ support plain text e-mail
