I'm almost ready to suggest that we just hand out all the remaining IPv4 address space today, now, just to get it over with - and to show that life will continue, people will adapt. Noel
Just in case - IPX will survive. IPX has just as many networks as IPv4 has hosts plus IPX has 64 K as many hosts as IPv4 has. IPX has proved to be a woking protocol, it can route, it exists and every major operating system can use it. IPX over IPv4 is existing as well as IPv4 over IPX. So they can coexist and internetwork. I dont know what happened to ISO? ISODE 8 is still hidden somewhere in the wild internet. It is still working although knowbody nows how to configure. It reminds me of SNA. SNA is plug and play! Just plug in your applications and links and play until it is working. The internet as we have it was never meant to be. Every gouvernement is happy it comes to an end. That is why nowbody wants IPv6. We have more than enough IPv4 addresses for the USA. We have more than enough IPv4 addresses for China. Neither the USA nor China want to share a common internet with the rest of the world. If there was not that silly old telephone! We could still live with telephone and modems if telephone had not moved to IPv4 VoIP. I guess it is internal mostly. So we can NAT the phone and everything else. Lets move Google and CNN to rfc 1918 address space and give the rest to national end-users.
