I know the size of the v6 namespace Remember that we are currently working with a smaller effective size.. The allocated part of v6, with martian filters to block out the rest And out of that.. Well, the more space poorly administered allocation policies squander by handing them to abusers without very much due diligence, the more trouble the rest of us face As for the future, I won't try predicting what the internet will be like and what devices from where will connect over v6. I would just tell you to avoid history repeating itself so we don't look back with regret at this conversation after a decade or two --srs (htc one x) <div class="gmail_quote">On 28-Jun-2013 1:15 PM, "Gert Doering" <<a href="mailto:gert@space.net">gert@space.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi, On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 10:34:17AM +0530, Suresh Ramasubramanian wrote: > Oh, v6 is never going to run out?
