*nods* Having v6 does solve a lot, but the ones that are difficult to work with in v4 are still using v4, so you still have problems.
I think those experiences are ones felt only by small to medium service providers. Large carriers, academia, hosting\datacenter, etc. don't really have those problems. They do have different problems, but they're fairly well known problems with processes laid out on how to deal with it. See my thread from a few weeks ago calling on people doing IP reputation or any sort of geolocation, filtering, blocking, etc. being more transparent. There are ISPs that have tried everything short of driving to the content provider's location and demanding resolution. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ca By" <cb.li...@gmail.com> To: "Michael Crapse" <mich...@wi-fiber.io> Cc: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Monday, June 11, 2018 11:50:55 AM Subject: Re: Need /24 (arin) asap On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 9:27 AM, Michael Crapse <mich...@wi-fiber.io> wrote: > For an eyeball network, you cannot count on an IPv6 only network.

Definitely many examples in wireless (T-Mobile, Sprint, BT ) and wireline (DT with DS-Lite in Germany, Orange Poland ...) and even more where IPv4 NAT44 + IPv6 is used. Just saying, having ipv6 hedges a lot of risk associate with blacklisting and translation related overhead and potentially scale and cost of IPv4 addresses. > > > On 11 June 2018 at 09:21, Ca By <cb.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Sun, Jun 10, 2018 at 8:43 AM Stan Ouchakov <st...@imaginesoftware.com> >> wrote: >> >> > Hi, >> > >> > Can anyone recommend transfer market brokers for ipv4 addresses?
