But that doesn't change the fact that people will still want a solution now, that neither "go to IPv6" nor "wait for IPv6" will satisfy them and that ISP's who are able to meet this demand will make more money than ISP's who can't...
Huh? It's you who asked about IPv6.
No, I didn't ask, I pointed out that there were _still_ neither an established technique nor a policy for IPv6 in this area.
Anyway, I think we will use up IPv4 address space before IPv4-style multihoming kills the backbone. It will happen within 3 years.
I think you will see a lot of IPv4 space reclaimed by force will be able to put IPv4 on life-support for a LONG time... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
