wha?
the root problem comes down to jackasses like ATT, xerox, government, etc who have a class A network and aren't willing to give up some hosts even though NAT is widespread.
giving up a small amount of addresses could have given up enough IPv4 addresses to last us another 10-15 years
Nice try blaming it on people who aren't you. I did some calculations a while ago, to see how many addresses we'd need to reclaim if we kept following the same curve we're currently on.
The answer is, you're right more or less, we could probably get another nine or ten years out of it.
The catch? Within that time, we'd have to hand back every single address currently in use on the internet, including yours, mine and Slashdot.
Still, I'm up for it if you are. You go first?
