You’re going to have to do this at some point. You might as well do it now. IPv4 allocations from the RIRs are not going to last forever. Changing the address policy for everyone just so you can continue with an IPv4-only networking approach for a few more months is both unfair and unwise.</pre> </blockquote> Dear Jim, A lot of LIR's in the number of regions cannot allow themselves "serious approach to using IPv6" because of outdated infrustructure and lack of resources . We offer (see my previous mail) to let them grow and expand and let them opportunity to accumulate resources for update and renew their infrustructures. We expect that subsequently this can help such LIRs to deploy IPv6. Also worth mentioning that our adjustment restricts the possibilities to abuse policy changes by major LIRs who are already have the opportunity to deploy IPv6. </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Best regards, Igor Strelyaniy Network Operation Manager ATOMOHOST LLC email: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:noc@atomohost.com">noc@atomohost.com</a> website: atomohost.com </pre> </body> </html>
