Time to IPv6

Standard

You probably haven’t noticed … the era of Internet based on currently used IP protocol is coming to the end. There are only roughly 14% of network blocks free at IANA pool. There will be no free blocks left at the end of 2010 if their consumption will stay the same as currently, which is pretty likely scenario as there are no new technologies like NAT, name based virtual hosting or other in sight to slow down this process.

We will have to adopt new IP protocol known as IPv6 (the current is IPv4). There are very few IPv6 enabled and prepared ISP out there currently, so it is hard to get your connectivity, but anyway … ask your local ISP. I will do the same for moucha.cc. Meanwhile see IPv4 exhaustion online.
