I received a new /20 from ARIN, yay, but not a low number block like I had hoped.  Too bad, b/c that will probably be the last IPv4 allocation I'll ever get (we'll run out before I need more)
206.162.240.0/20
I already have something in the  206.x block
I didn't think anything especially low was freeing.
yeah
heh, on my VPS after a reinstall, I didn't configure IPv4 right away because I didn't need it ... hopefully that'll be the norm soon enough.
I wonder if we're gonna have to go through carrier grade nat before ipv6...
much of the world with fewer IPs already does that
China, Russia, etc.
my ISP is rolling out native IPv6 as a beta and a lot of American and European ISPs as I understand it are ready to do within the next year or two.
china does, but it's mostly for filtering purposes isn't it?
I don't know about russia.
I know some big isps in the states have been trialing ipv6, dunno about any in canada though, which is lame.

IPv6 beta for DSL
anyone who's not about to get their business crushed :P
they give you a static /48, and they have some custom software for WRT54GL routers for it, even.
Yeah :/
ie telus, bell, shaw, rogers, etc.
haven't heard about any of them doing it.
... though I'd kind of expect them to, better multicast options etc...
iptv
I know Rogers has been doing internal stuff related to it for a couple years now.  I wouldn't be surprised if they just have to switch it on and are avoiding doing so because what'll break.
I dunno. There are downsides too. You'll be much more trackable.
RIP privacy. :P
True.
dunno what you can really do about that, nobody's going to give out dhcp /48s, be pretty simple to figure out what blocks are owned by isps, what size blocks they assign etc....
