Can you please give me some example of developing countries that are "skipping IPv4 completely"?
i suggest that it is not productive to spend bandwidth on the "you should be using ipv6" religion.
I think there are still good numbers that need to use IPv4 because of their developing stage.
yep. but there is a small problem. we are out of ipv4 space. there ain't no more.
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.
it would save a lot of shouting if you (and yuri and ...) read the discussion of the last/8 proposal so we do not have to repeat it; many of us have too damned much real work to do to spend time repeating old discussions. it boiled down to o ipv4 is essentially gone, we need to get over it o if the last /8 was left in the allocation pool, it would be gone in a small number of weeks and we would be back to "ipv4 is gone" o so, ipv4 is essentially gone, we need to get over it o if we do the one minimal allocation for a new LIR, it will let new entrants at least run a NAT o but ipv4 is essentially gone, we need to get over it o so some greedy animals will fight over the scraps. that's life o bottom line, ipv4 space is gone, we need to get over it it seems we may have underestimated the destructive aspects of the greedy phase. ah well. randy
