I actually agree with Bob that the abstract to 6346 says something
that's not true
this is the paragraph bob quoted
We are facing the exhaustion of the IANA IPv4 free IP address pool.
Unfortunately, IPv6 is not yet deployed widely enough to fully
replace IPv4, and it is unrealistic to expect that this is going to
change before the depletion of IPv4 addresses. Letting hosts
seamlessly communicate in an IPv4 world without assigning a unique
globally routable IPv4 address to each of them is a challenging
problem.
please point out what is not true about that paragraph. other than the
tense, of course; the iana pool ran out; as have apnic, ripe, and soon
arin.
the first step in solving a problem is admitting we have it.
