It depends. E.g. I have heard many times from not one ISP technology
strategists in NA: "we have enough v4 addresses, why bother with v6". This
argument may no longer apply in a few years.
In terms of the scalable architecture what seems to hinder development is the
rigidity embedded in 32- and 128-bit "address". IMO until the link between a
name and a locator is broken entirely that seems to remain a swamp point.
E.g. a new name space is offered as a universal standard to use by all (SDO,
governments, communities, markets, etc). Does anyone see a value in having it?
Should it apply to networkable devices only? Is it beyond the scope of RRG?
Thanks,
Peter
