"why is there such a delay in getting ipv6 rolled out when it solves all these problems ?"
===
There are many reasons...
1. Leasing Address Space from the I* society (small s...aka the Big Lie Society) is not desirable by all people...
where do you think ip4 space comes from ?
2. The IPv6 Privacy Problem...that is especially important in the area of computer telephony...
what privacy ? Do you mean to say you think having a static address is wrong since others will be able to identify you ? Isn't this the same concept of not accepting blocked calls in the telephony world ? If you need to hide, then most people will make the decision not to talk to you.
3. There is no shortage of IPv4 Address Space [1]
if there is not a shortage then why doesn't everyone have all the static ips they want ?
4. The 160 bits in the IPv4 Header can easily be used to store up to 43 bits of addressing (4+7=11+32=43)
not sure what you are proving with this calculation
5. The AM/FM InterNAT bit in the IPv4 Header can also be used to differentiate Next Generation higher-quality services...
this has nothing to do with the number of available addresses, only what services run on them. You could use it to route to a different machine if you wanted, but that is not really the point of this thread.
...Asterisk is a natural extension of the NAT transition/evolution and helps to negate any need for IPv6...
I think all the extra layered on crap for NAT and the hacks to make a few static ips last longer in a world that needs a larger address space is just needlessly complicating the application layers of software when clearly the transport and internetworking layers are sadly out of date.
