Because its quickly approaching? ISPs are going to run customers in dual stack for a long time but there will probably be some upsides to running it 100% ---

Home computers are all Win7 machines so they’re ready. No idea about my Fios router, nor any idea if I should care. I know I’m going to miss being able to remember IP addresses. 192.168.1.7 is a lot easier to type than fe80::408:e43f:9556:ae1f%11. ---

The way all of the devices on the internet have their addresses assigned ISP’s will probably start feeling the effects of running out of IPV4 addresses sometime next year… ---

I know that our organization is starting to run into issues with lack of addresses…doubt the the networking teams are ready for it. My stuff at home should be fine. My router is built into the modem, dunno if it’s ipv6 ready though. ---

At home I don’t really care. If my Fios router isn’t ready Verizon will just have to send me another one. I have one switch in the basement and if I have to swap that out so be it. At work it’s a “not my problem” thing, other than possibly having to change a couple application field widths so there is room to type in a longer IPv6 address. 🙂 ---

Why would home networks have this need? If the provider is having users use routers that support it, I cant see them pushing IPv6 into the LAN. Chances are they will roll out the modems with the WAN IP of IPv6 and then have the users LAN be IPv4 by default. On a side note, I have a few dedicated servers with 8 and 16 address blocks of public IPs. Any thought of buying them up now or would they potentially be repossessed by ICANN for bigger companies if the need came up? ---

Any thought of buying them up now or would they potentially be repossessed by ICANN for bigger companies if the need came up? Because the cable modems to do IPV6 to IPV4 translations are fucking expensive and I doubt any isp is going to change out every modem… Modems will just end up handing out a IPV6 and IPV4 address Buying up blocks and doing what? Who ever reallocated you the IPs could take them back This would work if you got IPs from ARIN and had your own AS you could technically reallocate and sell IPs but having less then a /24 doesn’t do you any good because no ISPs let you advertise less then a /24 via BGP anyways. ---

It really depends on the route filter the upstream provider… However just about everyone want allow less then a /24 to be imported via eBGP ---
