LCA: IP address exhaustion and the end of the open netLCA: IP address exhaustion and the end of the open netPosted Jan 26, 2011 15:29 UTC (Wed) by drag (subscriber, #31333)In reply to: LCA: IP address exhaustion and the end of the open net by fuhchee Parent article: LCA: IP address exhaustion and the end of the open net
The last of the major IPv4 blocks will get allocated by Feburary.
RIRs should run out of blocks to allocate ISPs by the end of summer.
After that is only carrier grade nat. Brave new protocols like NAT444.
NAT behind NAT behind NAT on the ISP level. You won't be limited by bandwdith anymore... you'll be limited by the number of connections that your ISP routers can maintain in memory and how fast they can process it.
You can kiss bittorrent goodbye. AJAX will run like shit and fail regularly. RSS feeds will start failing.
Hope you get used to getting your email in batches.

after that is buying IP addresses from other companies who suddenly find that they don't really need all the addresses that they are using (because they have all their desktops behind firewalls instead of exposed directly to the Internet like they were in 'the good old days')

No kidding. One thing about the IPv4 exhaustion is that the allocations
What is very unsettling about this situation is that it's a preview of

actually, I think the free market is handling things fairly well with IPv4 addresses. just not the way the IPv6 advocates wish they would handle it.

UUCP will save us!

Now that would be awesome.

Each digit refers to an addressing domain, not a translation layer. The translation layers are the invisible boundaries between the digits. In NAT444, all the addressing domains are IPv4, hence three "4"s.
