How long do you think it will take to completely get rid of IPv4? Or is it even going to happen at all?
IPX ruled the roost, very popularly, for a little while. How long did it take to die? Why did it die? What were the triggers that pushed it over the cliff? I think there's a lot to be learned from that piece of recent history. Specifically, as a demonstration of how a "most popular" protocol can find itself ejected from the arena in the blink of an eye. I knew several people who built their career path on the assumptions of IPX. Ouch. --lyndon
