India Gears for IPv4 to IPv6 Switch

[amish]

DSL-502T shud still work with IPv6 if u use bridge mode.

las time when i went to exchange in server room...some trainee engineers were reading ipv6 books..

I had posted a query on the Cisco forum regarding the WRT54G router India Gears for IPv4 to IPv6 Switch - Cisco Home Community

They have started preparing😀

btw IANA has not released class E network aka ips 240.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 @ 268 million ipv4 will be unused or reserved and now it is too late to release as windows wont recognize it .

IPv4 Exhaustion: What About Class E Addresses? - Packet Life

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

"At the present time, most IP implementations consider any IP address in the range 240.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.255 to be invalid as the source or destination of a datagram. The check for such "illegal" addresses may occur in many places, including at datagram receipt, before IP datagram transmission, when an IP address is assigned to a network interface, or even by router and firewall configuration parsers.

The class E space has 268 million addresses and would give us in the order of 18 months worth of IPv4 address use. However, many TCP/IP stacks, such as the one in Windows, do not accept addresses from class E space and will not even communicate with correspondents holding those addresses. It is probably too late now to change this behavior on the installed base before the address space would be needed."

Hayai will be fully IPv6 from day-1. Being as late to the game as we were, we didn't bother to get many IPv4 addresses.Also, I see plenty of IPv6 peers in my torrent software and I'm behind a D-Link 502T right now. I have a normal IPv4 address here but I'm guessing that my upstream ISP has one of the various IPv4-IPv6 translation packages running somewhere in their network.We'll have to run similar software but the other way around (IPv6-IPv4).

ipv4 exhausted

 

[Sushubh]

so what exactly happens now? 😀

 

[amish]

This will happen now.. charges for public IP will double or even triple 😀

 

[Sushubh]

i have six ips 😀 i am a rich man now! 😛

 

[amish]

Actually small ISPs will start using NATing.. and there are so many unused IPs.ISPs here give 16 IPs to corporates..and they hardly use 3 to 4. Basically, there is IP wastage!

 

[Sushubh]

i have 6. i am using 4 i think. found no use of dedicating individual ips to different sites. 😕

of course companies like microsoft and google probably have thousands if not millions of IPs 😀
