Given IPv6's rate of adoption so far, how soon do you think IPv4 will *really* be in so little use as to be obsolete or historic? With the growth rate of the Internet and home/office networking, and IPv6's adoption rate, I'd be willing to bet that the number of IPv4 installations is *growing* per year, not shrinking, and that that trend will continue for at least the next several years, barring any highly unusual events. -Dave -- Dave Aronson, software engineer or trainer for hire.
