The other side of the coin is the fact that many devices will
effectively require no more than a /128 because of the way they
connect up to the network. For example cell phones will be
serviced on
plans where the subscription fee is per device. Verizon, T-mobile,
cingular need no more than one /64 each to service those networks.
Uhh...
- I thought they actually do (should) give /64 per phone, so that
standar IPv6 address configuration works (you get IPv6 link local
and global addresses from RA).
- phone can use more that one address if you use the phone connection
to link your local network to the global internet without NAT,
(needs some "nasty" ND-proxy hacks though..)
All Symbian phones have full IPv4/IPv6 dual stack on them already.
My point was that even if we do run out of /64s at some point the last few
remaining /64s can be made to go one heck of a long way.
Even if we do eventually exhaust the address space we can fix up the
problems easily enough at the internetwork level.
