So what will happen?Reality is that as soon as SSL web servers and SSL-capable web browsers have support for name-based virtual hosts, the number of IPv4 addressesrequired will drop. Right now, you need 1 IP address for 1 SSL site; SNI spec of SSL gets rid of that.
Agreed.When do you expect Windows XP & earlier versions to be a small enough segment of the userbase that businesses will consider DoS'ing those customers? My guess is when the cost of additional v4 addresses is higher than the profit generated by those customers.
Put another way: Not until it is too late.And we still have the "way less than 4 billion possible addresses, but way more than 4 billion hosts" problem.
