I'm suggesting IPv6 *is* something you move to, but only if the top 100AS
move to it all at once. I agree with the rest of what you say, and agree
that unless the majority of the world shifts to v6 over night, the problems
you alliterate to will exist, but that is what I suggest is a solution.

Forcing all the small providers who can't get enough space to move to v6, as
you talk about Skeeve, won't fix the problem anywhere near as fast as doing
it the other way around. It is true that it is band-aid if the smaller
pockets of v4 left are simply re-allocated, but what isn't a bandaid is
re-allocating the massive IP space. Imagine moving Telstra off v4, suddenly
we'd have more than enough IPv4 space for the smaller providers in
Australia, for whom rolling out v6 will cost far more as a percentage than
it would Telstra.

 

The trouble with this and many of the other posts in this thread is an
implicit assumption that IPv6 is something that you *move to* - and then
once you have moved to IPv6 you don't need IPv4 space any more. 
IPv6 is something you *add*, not move to. You need to add IPv6, so your
customers can communicate as much as possible with the new Internet. You
still need to keep serving out your IPv4 addresses, so your customers can
keep communicating with the 'old Internet' hold-outs that haven't also added
IPv6 to their system. The IPv4 proportion of total traffic should drop over
time - but each ISP will still need to be handing out IPv4 in parallel with
IPv6 for probably decades to come.

There are short term solutions already:

 

- Get your final /22

- New companies can get a /22

- You buy some IPv4 of the open market

- You invest in CGN/LSN to extend the life of your v4 (not an 'alternative'
that some stupid journalists suggested in the last week)

- You roll-out IPv6/Dual-Stack/etc faster and start shifting those you can


For a brand spanking new ISP, try getting by with a /22. Even deploying IPv6
from Day 0, buying IPv4 space on the open market is the only way forward for
a new market entrant, as IPv6-only isn't viable yet.
