[AusNOG] Less than 10% of IPv4 Addresses Remain Unallocated

[Skeeve Stevens]

All,

My thoughts is users will get a choice. They will be offered:

1) Go behind carrier grade NAT for no cost change - and can have a no-NAT v6 address

2) Have a live v4 and v6 address for an extra few $ per month.

I think you'll see nat before you see raised prices, and the problem with that is a lot of the end users won't know the difference.

The  problem is that for CPE its not the ISP that conventionally buys the CPE, its the end users who head to their local retail outlet online or in the store and buy the (cheapest) unit they can get their hands on, and, unfortunately, no IPv6 is included in their requirements in general. So unless the ISP wants to package up the CPE and include devices that fold in a good implementation of IPv6 (such as the rather cool FRITZ!Box from germany, and the extremely capable but somewhat pricey for the home consumer Cisco 877 offering), then nothing happens.
