I've been hearing the alarm bells about IPv6 for a decade now.

The fact is, the vast majority of businesses only need a handful of static addresses, and use NAT to map their internal LANs through their firewalls.

If every business computer in the world had its own static public address we would have run out long ago. The reason IPv4 has stuck around as long as it has is because we hide internal networks. Are we in fact at the tipping point where we can't get away with that any longer? Perhaps. Maybe this time the experts are right and we need to shift to IPv6. But I've read such reports years ago too.

It's all hype to change from IPv4 to IPv6. However, we do know there's a limit.

They gotten rid of the class interdomain routing. Thank god. But, it's still IPv4. Anyway, with IPv4 packet segment, there's additional header options that don't even need to be present. Such a waste (reduce throughput). IPv6 got rid of that.

Currently routers switching fabric has problems with p2p network. The IPv6 routers hopefully will change their algorithms.

If that's a serious question, I'd say a massive upgrade in a short amount of time requires lots of monies. It's a gradual process. Upgrades starts from larger cities to smaller ones.

I hope it doesn't close until after I get at least one big heart.

You can never have too much porn. Or too many sheep.
