Assuming that with IPv6, there is no (heh: or at least, less) need to be stingy with IPs,
_and_ assuming that ISPs will still assign IPs, .. (please attack the assumptions!) ..then, what size range of IPs could an end-user expect to get? Hmmm, is IPv6 routing qualitatively any different than IPv4? I suppose that IPs might be allocated to end-users in fairly sizable blocks, without significantly fragmenting the IP space. But beancounters will doubtless charge by the pound (er.. by the K, or maybe 8K -- how many do you need TR?, SS?). Will DHCP go away? I understand that IPv6 is already more-or-less in-place in Asia (Japan? China?). "Google ipv6 asia" reports a million hits, the top return being a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Inc article ------------ IPv6: Asia's Agent of Change Northeast Asia leads the way in giving everything including the kitchen sink an Internet address ------------------------- that I have not yet read, but it looks right on-topic. What'l (how _does_ one spell that?) it take to get the US (and Europe) into the IPv6 boat? ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
