miladus writes "According to a story at Zdnet,
Asian countries are running out of IP addresses. China, for example,
was assigned 22 million IP addresses (for a population of 1.3 billion)
under IPv4. The US owns 70 percent of current IP addresses. Perhaps IPv6 will solve the problem."
"Most vendors have worked to ensure their products have interoperability between IPv6 and IPv4 and because migration and deployment of IPv6 networks across the globe will be gradual,
gradual as michael easing himself into taco's backside, the two standards will coexist for many years to come."
So, do you do this to subvert the moderators, or to catch logged-in karma whores who copy-paste AC posts of the article text into their own posts?

Better, they should cut off all the Chinese

I live in the 3rd dimension, and have 2 families living directly below me. Also keep in mind that the population of humans is growing pretty fast...so it may be possible to run out of IPv6 addresses too.
Wow! You must live on a pretty big planet. The one I'm on couldn't possibly support enough people to run out of IPv6 addresses.
I did a little math. Turns out that with 2^128 addresses, 1000 addresses per person, it'd take 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211 people to use them all. Averaging that these people way around 90kg (180 lbs), they come to a mass of 3.0625e37 kg. For some comparison, the earth's mass is 5.972e24 kg, our sun is 1.989e30 kg. Thats more mass than is in my whole galaxy!

Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses
What the hell is a prog-rock super-band from the 80's doing with 22 million IP addresses?
Do they give them away to groupies with the backstage passes? Did entire blocks come free with the purchase of an lp? Were they traded for drugs and amps that go up to "11"?

If your company thinks NAT is too limited, then it should have gotten, or be getting, its own IPv6 assignment. Cite the address. If it's a case of your management not understanding the problem and the solution, give me your CEO's home phone number and I'll given him a call at 3AM and whisper into his ear "IPv6... IPv6... you want IPv6... IPv6 will make your network better, faster, cheaper... IPv6... do IPv6 now".
