Hi,
>because I'm sure IPv4 will be around in the public IP space for years.
Really?
I thought the trend in IT was for (almost) all predictions to be
proved wrong.
Me thinks that the avalanche of shifting to IPv6 is gaining momentum.
Yes, IPv4 will be around in a few years, but it will be super small fry.
As for the doom and gloom merchants -
-- I think that for some they were just trying to write inflammatory
stuff to get a higher rank for their pages
so that their advertising revenue went up.
Sheesh. and before the list police strike, Linux has done IPv6 for many
years, and done it well.
Not sure how many distros will cope with ipv6 - any comment? Surely the
big boys have it nailed by now.
My understanding is that if you think of IPv6 as "just adding an extra
96 bits to the addressing space" then you have it wrong.
There is much much more that was added.
Cheers,
Derek.

I've recently come across some providers who charge more for accessing
their API's via IPv4 and a one who does v6 only, so the drift is
gaining momentum.
Certainly not the doom-and-gloom rapid migration and breaking of
things that was predicted a few years ago but at some stage in the
next couple of years we'll be seeing v6 as the default for new
internet connections.
Probably mobile devices first I suppose and the Mobile networks will
provide 6to4 routes because I'm sure IPv4 will be around in the public
IP space for years.
Cheers, Chris H.

Agreed - if you're building something new then IPv6 is an
absolute requirement, or you're an ostrich with your head stuck in the
sand.
