1- http://onlyv6.com is not resolving ..... 2- why would anyone be interested in buying "bit-pipes" from you if you don't own fiber or ports in a switch? 3- why would anyone be interested in buying ip address space if they can do it from SP's themselfs or apply for that ripe allocation? 4- ICIN 2009 highlighted the fact the SP#s are interested in rolling out new ethernet services - that has been happening for the past years! 5- http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html shows the V4 exhaustion - the depletion of the IPv4 allocation pool has been a concern however is still in use. Understanding the v6 migration is driving the change. http://www.usipv6.com/6sense/2006/mar/pdf/UnderstandingIPv4AddressExhaustion... just seems that it follows the switchover to digital (2012) http://www.eurescom.eu/Public/Projects/P1900-series/P1952/default.asp ----- Original Message ---- From: Tim Franklin <tim@pelican.org> To: NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Fri, April 23, 2010 12:38:21 PM Subject: Re: Connectivity to an IPv6-only site
Which seems a bit far afield from reality to me. Yes, there are lots of folks with IPv6 connectivity and v4-only recursive DNS servers. I don't think ISPs will have problems setting aside a handful of IPv4 addresses for authoritative DNS infrastructure to work around this until v6 transport in recursive DNS servers is common enough.
Assuming your ISP is providing your DNS. What if I, as a new start-up in the IPv4-exhausted world, want to buy pure bit-pipes from my ISP, and be responsible for *everything* further up the stack? I don't believe this is entirely uncommon. Regards, Tim.
