IPv6Roger Jørgensen wrote:Be specific, is it for having more address for the end-users? Datacenter? Services? Infrastructure? IPv6-to-IPv4 services? CGN? Proxyes?[x] all of the above, and more. This question isn't relevant as it seems - lots of organisations have their needs and the RIPE NCC cannot and should not be arbiter of whose need is greatest or should take precedence. What's relevant is that due to a shortage of IPv4 address space, businesses are being forced to change business practices. This impacts on AP-WG because on the one hand, there are some addresses left at the bottom of the RIPE NCC barrel, and on the other, many LIRs are looking at these addresses, realising that if they could only get their hands on some of them, it would make life a whole lot easier. AP-WG is seen as a place that could potentially tilt the balance one way or another, if only consensus could be gained. There are no good solutions to the problem at hand, only compromises. If the current policy is changed to something else, the people who benefit in the short term will be happier and the people who pay for this generosity will be disappointed.
every policy that makes IPv6 adoption a must can help slow down IPv4 allocation rate and in the meanwhile will even lower IPv4 maket valueAnd, as has been pointed out repeatedly by many people for many years, full depletion is only a couple of years down the road, regardless of what allocation policy is applied. Any change of policy is little more than rearranging deck-chairs on the Titanic. The ship is going down and there is nothing that anyone in the world can do to prevent this. Nick
