It’s Going to be Ugly… but Beautiful
I want to address a few interesting comments made on my last blog. I agree with Dan’s sentiment - there needs to be more than simple supply and demand capitalism to solve the migration problem as we define it because ideally, supply should precede demand but the question is: who’s going to foot the bill?

The Dynamics of IPv6 Change
I was sitting there fuming… this is counterproductive I thought, we should all be encouraging the adoption of IPv6, not discouraging it. That was the raison d’être for these IPv6 Summits, wasn’t it? We are all supposed to hold hands and sing version six of Kumbaya, not challenge the sanctuary of the ol’ mighty IPv6… I [...]

IPv6… the year the NAT-enforced IPv4 dam showed seepage
We don’t give enough credit to people who will sacrifice themselves trying to plug the IPv4 dam with some NAT-putty. They even dream of a NAT66 filled afterlife.

Teredo, the hidden IPv6 champion
There has been some interesting work done lately in regards to getting a better understanding about the status of the IPv6 deployments. The most famous on is probably Google’s measurement of how many nodes actually could access IPv6 content. This showed that 6to4 is the dominating technology. But looking at the data presented by Kurtis [...]

How much can I get for my IPv4 address?
There seem to be a common view, one example found here, that even if the IPv4 pool will run in about two years there will be plenty addresses available from space that isn’t actually being used today. There might be some truth in this perception but it won’t provide an easy fix to continue using IPv4. Unused [...]
