First, those /8's cant be taken back. And even if we could.. we consume 1.35 /8 per month.. that would stretch an additional 5 or 6 years at the current rate.. After 6 years IPv4 is still depleted.. there's no magical 5th octet that will appear in 5 years time.. http://www.fix6.net/archives/2010/05/08/two-more-down/ The /8's are gone in a year, a year later RIR's are almost empty.. People and company's don't seem to get it.. Were running out.. FAST! the end gets moved closer each couple months. Time for people and company's to get their act straight and start supporting IPv6. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
