And currently, IPv6 is what ARIN and the other RIRs are handing out. It is the protocol suite being added to gear. Maybe it would be stated better as the current suite is being added to. Either way, v6 is the thing that IS happening. > IPv6 has lost many times over. The point of the articles is that > *the whole concept of large address spaces is wrong*. IPv6 solves a > non-problem.
