[AusNOG] Getting there from here (was: Re: My Predictions for the ISP Industry)

[Joseph Saxton]

Who knows whether IPv4 will exist in the next decade. 

 

Back during the days of IBM Bill gates quoted "640K ought to be enough
for anybody."

A decade later people now store 640GB of data. (not saying everyone).

I don't believe anyone is saying that it will.

I'm a little bit bothered that ISP professionals in 2012 seem to 
seriously believe that an IPv6 deployment involves disabling IPv4.
 
How widespread is this misbelief?
 
I'd fully expect that legacy IPv4 will stick around for the 
forseeable future.  It'll suck, and be heavily multi-NATted, and
fewer and fewer people will use it;  But it isn't going away for
quite a while.
 
 

 

My point was Mark, once we run out of ipv4, long before the rest of the
world, and end users here can only be issued with ipv6, with the
majority of the world not using ipv6, it will be a lonely place, unless
ISP's configure kinda like nat 6 to 4 since 4 is the dominant. 
I don't for one second believe ipv4 will even look like being vanished
for another decade or more.
