There are a lot PRIVATE networks that are using assigned IPv4 (like 40% of the total IPv4 addresses and they had more than that) addresses and they don't announce anything, they have like lots of /8's.
So, if we would take like 90% of the /8's assigned to networks when there was no real database with IPs and allocate them to the RIRs that need them, we would have all the IPs we need for 10yrs or so. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 11:35 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] IPv6 Support You have to remember though, that's before NAT became prevalent. There are way more computers right now than there are IPv4 addresses, it's just that we have private networks using NAT which reduces the number of "real" IPs needed for that network down to 1. This is one of the primary reasons, it seems, that ISPs and others are dragging their feet with IPv6 implementation; Because "we have enough" addresses and it would be expensive for them to do.
