Re: End of IPv4 !!

You may be right that exhaustion of v4 public IP space is eminent, but
v4 has a hell of a long way to go before its dead.

You should probably check out NANOG and the IETF mailing lists about
the various operational and (from a vendor standpoint) implementation
issues and modifications.

Even thought the government is requiring v6 support for equipment,
they have not been implementing it. (I remember another case where the
government thought IP would be dead.. CLNS...and we know what happened
with that)
