What data can you bring to show that we won't run out of addresses any time soon? It would seem that we have around 15-20 months left [1]. Given the scale of the change, isn't that "soon" enough for you?<p>[1] <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/07/internet-will-be-running-on-ipv4-address-fumes-within-a-year.ars" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/07/internet-wil...</a>
While I don't see any point any point in turning ipv6 of, I also don't think we are going to run out of addresses anytime soon - it would be nice if we could end natting (It would certainly solve a few of my problems), but just like with the oil situation, the doom sayers are, as usual, way out there.<p>For a reference, we have been running out of oil since the early 1910.
