pragmatically, WTF are folks going to do when you can't get more IPv4 space from APNIC? Pick the best answer(s):
) IPv6 ) NATs all the way down ) hijack space from others ) find a new line of work as a beer-bottle washer
and -then- we can worry about the cost of upgrading to 100G direct links (no striping)
--bill There may turn out to be real capacity issues in our future. For example, if regional fibre operating companies lay lots of government-subsidised fibre in urban(ish) areas but no corresponding change occurs in the way we do backhaul. Not a problem for certain forms of traffic and certain business models (e.g. from distributed video servers) but possibly bad news for anything like the Internet in its historic end-to-end form.
I seem to recall TelstraClear's rollout of 40Gbps (SDH?) and indeed 10Gbps (ethernet?) interfaces being news earlier this week.
