Yes it is still dominant, no dispute here. But as well we (theoretically) buried it long time ago. That's why the "walking dead" thing. Point is that with up to /32 in routing tables we would be investing RAM on IPv4 instead of for IPv6 deployment (if not done already). And yes, there is quite a lot of money in IPv4. In hypothetical IPv6-only world, IP brokers would starve to death. :-) Regards, Martin
