* John Curran:
I agree with Chris; this (and any other returns) won't change the IPv4 depletion/IPv6 deployment timeline substantially,
I guess there are a lots of unused assignments within provider-dependent address space. In my experience with a couple of LIRs, none of them was very eager to reclaim address space after the contractual requirement to provide it disappeared, and only some of them reclaimed it after I asked them to. All that unused address space adds up, too. On the other hand, it's probably more efficient to switch to an addressing architecture which will not require proper resource management for the forseeable future. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
