It seems history repeats itself in different scenarios. When the US wanted to join WW2, they had just cavalries with 1000s of horses, no tanks. They had to build a new army with tanks, ships and planes very quickly. The sad story is that US army had to kill 1000s of horses as they were becoming too expensive to feed.
This time ironically the horses are the users. Latif From: John Hay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Samstag, 23.

The document at http://www.afrinic.net/en/services/920-analysis-future-ipv4-exhaustion states that the exhaustion date would be April 11th 2014. AfriNIC's available IPv4 address pool or the available IPv4 address space in Africa is just a small part of the picture. Few people want to talk to themselves. That is pretty boring. Once organisations in the rest of the world can only get IPv6 address space and your clients or students want to communicate with them over the internet, browse their web sites, or whatever, and then cannot... What are you going to tell your clients or students? Sorry they use IPv6 addresses, but don't worry we have enough IPv4 addresses, we will not run out? I doubt if they will be happy with such an answer. Regards John -- John Hay
