IPV6...

[Bob Sneidar]

We were also advised when I was in high school that an ice age was coming, we would be out of water in ten to fifteen years, the air would be so polluted we would all be wearing gas masks, nothing would grow so we would be eating dirt etc. And while I don't deny there are real problems to consider, nothing ever is as bad as it is originally made out to be. We make the necessary adjustments to prevent our own extinction and then have a beer or two at the end of the day.

I find myself wondering why the Tier providers can't simply move all their routers over to use IPV6 exclusively, and leave local area networks the way they are? Maybe I misunderstand, but why does *everyone and everything* have to move to IPV6?

But as we've all been advised by IANA for more than a decade, v4 addresses are in short supply and v6 has been the recommended solution.
