The question as we're told, is not whether we, anybody, or the Internet is ready. The question is how fast are we running out of IPV4 addresses. The latest information seems to point to end of the year or first quarter next year.

At this point all major iSPs will be on IPV6, at least for communications to the outside. Others will follow. In probably less than 10 years (basically the time it will take to replace all of the private desktops, laptops, notebooks etc...) everybody will be on IPV6.

I doubt that you will find a single new PC today that will not support IPV6.

So yes times are changing... under our very own eyes. Once the remaining number of IPV4 addresses will have been exhausted, all internet facing routers will need to be talking IPV6, or talking to an IPV6 router ... .... or be seriously restricted in the range of computers they can talk to.

The IANA appears to be recalling unused blocks of class A and class B addresses, mostly from universities. This should help alleviate some of the issues. NATted ip addresses have dramatically reduced the demand for ip addresses.

It is unlikely that any organization would stop NATting, and expose all internal network devices with public ipv6 addresses.

My original post was more focused on outside organizations (the Feds) demanding ipv6.

One common misconception I often run into when discussing the future of the public address space is that IPv4 and IPv6 are mutually exclusive. (This is not a true statement.)

There are various schemes that promote interoperability. One example in your home would be your wireless router to your laptop would be IPv4 but the Internet traffic from your wireless router to your ISP woul dbe IPv6.

Before people (yes you Sir Vitor) start jumping up and down, I did not say it was an optimized solution. I merely suggest that there are ways both protocols will interoperate for a period of time to enable a smooth transition for everyone.

This will avoid the United States Government from having to buy every household on the planet an IPv6-enabled device, as they did when we switched from analog tee vee to digital.

If your hungry to see what IPv6 is like, you can also tunnel IPv6 traffic through your IPv4 protocol. Microsoft has a tunneling protocol stack for Windows 7 that you can turn on. I'm sure most Linux variants also have this feature.

Objection Your Honour!

One of the key elements of the IPV6 standard is easy way you can turn a v4 into a v6 address. I see the solution you outline as potentially non-optimal from a pure technological standpoint but by far the most expedient. I certainly don't see anyone but the most hardened purist having a problem.

Be thankful you live in the Land Of the Free and the Home of the Brave. When the UK governement did something similar, their plan was to announce that, "on this date, your TV will stop working. You should buy a new one. Or sit in the dark. But it sucks to be you."

@Vitor.

Well spoken sir. It's a pleasure to sit at the Kings' Roundtable with you.

In France, there would be rioting in the streets.

In France there would be rioting in the streets if it rained 3 days in a row.

Once the weather improved obviously.

Not quite. First and before the cut off date there would be public protestations and strike.
After cut off date there would be some rioting involving basically fringes of the population and the police forces.

Then there would be strikes with riots developing at the fringes...

Finally the government would have no choice but to either relent or imprison everybody...

And what would happen when the Bastille is full?

Oui! Why would you want to interrupt holidays for a revolution?
