Given that it's 15-20 years before the sky falls roughly speaking, and we've had IPv4 for about the same amount of time, I think it's a fairly stunning achievement for a technology to have a lifetime of 40-50 years.
I couldn't agree with Jamie more... Just diverting back to the original thread, there has been discussion about implementing IPv6 for how long now ? To me it's like talking about the second coming... Anyway, what doesn't support IPv6 now ? I'm picking that what doesn't support IPv6 now is more than likely to be either upgraded or in the bin by 2008. Hey, we got through the "Y2K Bug", PCB scare, Asbestos scare, surely Pink Batts must be next... :) Just another thing to keep us employed...
