[ncc-services-wg] IP adress transferring in Ukraine

Petryk,

I disagree. If you're rebuilding your network, you may build it with the new principles and technologies available at the moment. It's a bit silly to rebuild the network with the fresh hardware using the principles you've used 10 or 15 years ago.

And there are networks in the world built on IPv6 and using IPv4 as an additional service. So the consumption of IPv4 will be less.

So I encourage the engineers to keep this in mind.
