At least that is what a credible little bird told me. Well, since 100.64.0.0/10 got allocated for draft-weil, CGN and NAT444 will be a reality, and IPv4 gets a new lease on its fugue state. (see: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg09959.html ) To Bob's question, IPv6 and IPv4 will coexist as dual-stack until nothing of importance is left on IPv4, and then it will be turned off by network ops, one AS at a time (iterate across ~30,000 AS's). It will likely take decades for IPv4 to go away; but I reserve the right to be wrong. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
