"The demand upon a resource tends to expand to match the supply of the resource.", to quote the general application of Parkinson's Law. It may seem that IPV6 has a huge range to give out, but that is only going to encourage people to produce solutions where every light switch and light bulb in the world (and eventually every cell-maintaining nanobot in every human body) receives its own IPV6 address. Once the conversion to IPV6 is passed, the new address space will be consumed at a much faster rate than the old one. -- Bruce Remember you're a Womble.
