Re: IPv6 for Websites

Well, I'm not going to get into a length comparison fight, but I'm pretty
sure my network is bigger than yours :)

And I can assure you that RFC1918 does have scalability limitations which
have been reached in fact, not in theory. Fortunately, we had some very
smart people who looked at the expected growth and realized it would be
less painful to change stuff now rather than later.

The rest is all a matter of opinion, but regardless of whether you think
ipv6 is an operational need, or a marketing scam, it is coming, and you
ignore it at your own peril.
