You know what sucks worse than NAT? Memorizing an IPv6 address. ;)
I agree. But we'll have to live with it until something better comes along.
The assumption behind my original question is that the IP space simply isn't used anywhere near as efficiently as it could be. While reclaiming even a fraction of those /8s won't put off the eventual depletion, it'll make it slightly more painless over the next year or two.
I don't see how this would help. We all - and the world - have known for at least three years when the allocatable IPv4 pool would/will run out. Have we done something (at large)? No. Instead, people are whimpering about others having v4 addresses they are "obviously" not using and couldn't we pull those and redistribute so everyone's happier. Honestly - you'd only push the current situation two months back. Now everybody start using v6 and quit whining. (Or like Randy said - get back to pushing packets) Elmar.
