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

[Lee W McKnight]

Thanks Ian,

Both Phillip's and Bil's comments are well worth reading.

To carry on - a link to my 2007 paper 'The Future of the Internet is Not the Internet,' which I had the pleasure of presenting to Vint Cerf, David Clark, and other luminaries at a joint NSF/OECD workshop...in which I told them all they were misguided in worrying about future networks when they should be thinking of future grids...composed of any number of heterogeneous networks and services...and users, and content, and devices, and...whatever else we might imagine, without necessitating but also not precluding IPv4, or v6, or...

(Final paragraph was cut off by OECD editors- or by this absent-minded prof sending said editors wrong file to my eternal embarrassment...but I guess that's ok since we are clearly not yet at the end of the story...)

Among other informed critics of current approaches you will find you will
find

My own take here agrees with with Bob Frankston who Lee mentioned - like the
Roman roadbuilders of old, we will probably just pave over TCP/IP and build
something better and stronger. Perhaps this will come through the
established IETF - perhaps through the GENI and other next generation
experiments - most likely however, from left field somewhere and some young
developer, most likely in India or China.

In the meantime, my personal advice to any small or medium sized
organisation or business feeling they must rush to IPv6 is - you don't. The
end is not nigh!

Ian Peter
