great video there Vint Cerf'! keep up the good work!

Problem is that, although the costs of moving to the new protocol will be very high, any further delays would push costs even higher.

Time to start moving ! IPv6!

What THIS ? What What ? . YO MAN SPEAK ENGLISH MAN.

[herbg3]

couldn't you assign different sets of 4 billion to each namespace in a software fix?

[theoiper]

With 4 billion IPs per person, perhaps the monstrosity that is NAT will finally die! :-)

@jd1000x The point is that if U.S. companies and organizations want to remain competitive and secure, in regards to application and networking abilities, they should start planning and implementing a migration process to IPv6 ASAP. ARIN estimates that we have less than a year (about 343 days) remaining before the U.S. runs out of its allocated IPv4 addresses. I don't think this is the sort of thing where it's good to be a late adopter, especially if you're an ISP or end-user organization.

@echo851 From what I understand, IPv6 has security and mobility built into it, instead of having security and mobility available as extensions (as it is with IPv4). Having the security actually built into the protocol reduces its limitations as well as provides greater scalability. So, if anything, I would think of IPv6 as being more secure than IPv4 (in theory).

Yawn... boring. Get to the point...
