[governance] FW: [] Fwd: IPv4 Address Exhaustion Milestone & Comcast Starts DOCSIS IPv6 Trial

[jefsey]

Avri,
for too long techies have preached IPv6 as an ISP moral duty instead 
of making it a user advantage. Now IPv4 is going to be a matter of 
business, IPv4 is the future.
Anyway, adressing/routing is to be reviewed and rethought. But we 
probably may manage a soft transition : in 82-86 we introduced the 
X.121 digital addressing in using numeric names.
What really interests users is IDv6, i.e. global scope sub-addresses 
related to a local IP/domain name. NAT66 can support that (a 
different animal from NATs).
