Denial is indeed impressive: v6 only is not the only option for residential customers already used to functioning behind NAT. I, for one, welcome our new CGN overlords...
In five years we should be just about ready to start deprecating IPv4, if not already beginning to do so.
Considering it's taken us 15 years to get this far... I think that's pretty optimistic. Anyone care to start the IPv4 dead pool, Price is Right style, for when the last v4 NLRI is removed from the DFZ? --msa
