There's no place like ::1 ;-) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of HENDERSON MIKE, MR Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 2:29 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] The sky is so falling! {Unclassified}
In case you hadn't already heard, IANA has allocated the last blocks of IPv4 addresses to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). There are *NO MORE*, the cupboard is bare. See, amongst what will doubtless be lots of others, http://www.apnic.net/final-five. If AfriNIC is your RIR, you'll probably be able to get an IPv4 address allocation for several years. IF APNIC (which serves China, India, Korea and Japan as well as Australia & NZ) is your RIR, you'll be flat out of luck before Christmas - some commentators say as soon as July. So, how "IPv6 Ready" is the U2 community? How "IPv6 Ready" are you? E.g. Have you got any tables where you store IP addresses? If so, what happens when you need to store and display/list "DEAD:BEEF::1020:17AA:0236:1AAA" instead of "192.168.215.132"? The fun is about to start :-) Regards Mike The information contained in this Internet Email message is intended for the addressee only and may contain privileged information, but not necessarily the official views or opinions of the New Zealand Defence Force.
