new IP standard coming soon? (running out of IPs)
I wanted to start a discussion on IPs, when they will run out, and what will happen afterwards...
When will we run out of IPs? Is IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) going to be the next standard? IPv6 uses a 128-bit address instead of the 32-bit address. Any solution requires backward compatibility, but I am not experienced enough to predict how this inevitable change will take place. |

Yes, eventually everything will migrate to IPv6. It'll be a slow process. There are already people answering IPv6 requests on the net. Get on EFnet and you'll spot people on IRC from v6 addys.
IPv4 has 2^32 address space, but due to how IP's were classed in the early days (Class A, Class B, Class C, etc) and handed out (Purdue, MIT, Apple, etc have Class A's, or 1/255th of the internet IP space) the number space has been exhausted rather quickly. Steps by ARIN in the last couple years to ensure that IP's which are handed out are in use, as well as the switch to classless routing and reappropriation of IP blocks under 127 has helped. If you install a FreeBSD box, it prefers IPv6 and falls back to IPv4 by default.

I didn't even mention anything about NAT, and Super-NAT's which some people think will make the transition to v6 unneeded. I disagree, but think that NAT certainly has it's uses.

Very good for QOS. Makes ubiquitous faultless realtime streaming possible. Deep implications for security, privacy, and distributed atomic bandwidth brokering. |

Heh...IPv6 has been "the next great thing" for the last 5 years or more now.
Any day now, any day
