Hi Brad,  and anyone else that is dual stack

 

How much traffic are you are seeing via your ipv6 network currently ?

Yes, while it's certainly not a solution, you can't say that the equivalent
of 200,000+ unallocated /24's is of no use to some networks right now.  I'd
put my hand up for a few more.  This would be another /22 for every AS, with
some to spare.  

One could argue that feeding the IPv4 pool removes the incentive to go dual
stack, but we already have gone dual stack and still have a requirement for
IPv4 because others haven't.

I had some nice examples of why it would last more than just a couple of
months, but chrome crashed and it has been gone into enough. It would work
though for the majority of smaller companies, most of the exhaustion comes
from the large companies, not the small ones. And its the large companies
who can afford v6, while the smaller companies cannot so much. You only need
to look at v6 implementation to see this.

Exactly, 

 

So recovering anything, is of no use or point whatsoever as we'd be back in
the same position within a couple of months, regardless of justification,
price, and so on.

I did some analysis of this a while back:

http://laptop006.livejournal.com/52380.html

My summary was:
"In terms of the coming IPv4 exhaustion we have 817 allocated /16's
completely unused, for over 5.3M IP addresses, or ~3.2 entire /8's,
giving, at the current consumption rate[6], just under two and a half
months more IPv4[7]."
