Hi guys. I am working with my management team to implement IPv6, but I got an interesting question from one of the managers; Why do we need more IPv4 if we are moving towards IPv6?
A quick background; We are having discussions around IPv4 and IPv6 and the need to eventually buy more IPv4 addresses to keep a premium level on our Internet access. My argument is that we need addresses as long as there are important services that only do IPv4 (yes, there are still a few, especially in Norway), and as long as the other ISP are reluctant to implement IPv6 (luckily in Norway, all the major ISPs have already come a long way). When IPv6 reaches critical mass is the $5000 dollar question which I wish I had the answer for. So, any thoughts on this topic, and any qualified guesses on when we no longer need to do IPv4 and still be able to call our internet product premium? /Ragnar Altibox AS
