Will IE6 ever fade out? Nope.
Just use HE Tunnel, 3ms ping from any ISP....
Ipv4 will not fade out. I don't see why it should. Just might not be available for mass usage but should be supported by everysingle device.
but when is the day the ipv6 will be used by everybody? 5 yrs?
@William
The trash router Netvigator gave me blocks ICMP echo by default and no choice:/
Of all places in the world, I would've expected HK to be ahead of the curve on IPv6. APNIC has been down to their last /8 for more than a year thanks to the growth explosion going on in China and India. The only allocation you can get out of APNIC since April 2011 is a /22, and you can only get one. Ever.
Orly. MyRepublic (AS132047) just started up this year (Actually end-November) and there's quite a few /22's, mostly /24's on it http://bgp.he.net/AS132047
Probably never fade out.
like dial up.
Tell that to people in Australia
Because someone is announcing /24's instead of the aggregated /22 :P
YOU'RE FATTENING THE ROUTING TABLES, MAN.

Looks like four different but related entities each got their /22, then for extra fun assigned some /24s within them to each other. I'm not surprised that companies are playing tiddlywinks with the system, this is pretty much the end of easily being able to get IPs.
As well as using existing subsidiaries/sister companies or setting up new ones I expect there'll be a trade in either buying IPs (if that's allowed) or buying companies with significant IP allocations. That'll surely have a chilling effect on small business, and IPv6 adoption is going terribly slowly
I guess so.
What the hell is this Internet Exchange, and why the hell does it give out global routes?
Something is fishy there.
How is it possible this MyRepublic thing got 4096 IPs from APNIC? As far as I know APNIC completely ran out of IP addresses, why are they throwing them around?

It's possible multiple companies were formed, given that the names on the blocks aren't the same?

I don't think it will fade out.
Exactly. Why should it fade out? It's perfectly fine for a small internal network.
@nabo we still have more ipv4 than they are letting on to, some companies registered HUGE LEGACY blocks for INTERNAL use that they are barely using ... only a matter of time before they are made to return what they aren't using.
We also have several "RESERVED" ipv4 blocks that are reserved for no apparent reason.
@Corey, lots of those pre-date ARIN (and the other RIRs) and they can't be made to return anything.
Yup, they are OWNED by the companies that registered them.
It's bullshit either way ... why can't we all make them return them? Surely we can just stop routing these ips across the globe and deny them purchase of routable ips?
This
Because that would be illegal under all RIR policies, back when the RIRs were created it was explcitely included that all legacy blocks will forever be "as is" without any rights to revoke them unless the party returns it himself.
Policies are make to be broken
Not this ones, after all the largest IP space owners are the UK (4 /8) and US Military (16 /8 or something around that for Navi/Army/Airforce/SpecOps/Central)
Do they really need 30 million(or more) ips?
All big companies should be forced to return their /8 blocks or justify that. Very unfair they sit on their legacy blocks.
Actually the US Military's 16 /8s are 270 Million IPs
@Francisco, @HerrMaulwurf: They're actually the same company, MyRepublic Ltd (Another name for it being Republic Telecom). Vertex Building is just the location of the office.
