    Hello Tony,

    If you have any IPv4 to spare, better sell it now before the
    bubble bursts. :-)

    Got plenty, none of it's mine though. My /28 belongs to a networking group, and my /24 belongs to ARDC.

    That /24 may not last forever. ARDC has already sold a substantial part of their original /8 and with a going price of $50 for an IPv4 address they may be tempted to sell more before the bubble burst.

    It does not take a crystal ball to see that the IPv4 trade is a bubble that WILL burst in the foreseeable future.

    ... Copper wire was invented by two Ferengi fighting over a
    penny.

    Really? The Belgians say is was invented by the Dutch...

    Hmm, not sure what that's about. :P

    Do Australians make jokes about New Zealanders and vice versa? It is the same between the Dutch and the Belgians...


    Cheers, Michiel

    Does that really count though? Everybody makes fun of the Dutch.

    Most definitely.

    True, see what happens. :) Hopefully the ham developers will embrace IPv6 more. Newer software, like the M17 infrastructure and IP clients (e.g. DroidStar) do support IPv6, and my M17 reflector is IPv6 capable and had an AAAA record.

    It does not take a crystal ball to see that the IPv4 trade is a bubble that WILL burst in the foreseeable future.

    Yes, there will be a point where everything goes IPv6 and the remains of IPv5 will be little islands connected via IPv6.

    Yeah we do, for jokes about New Zealanders, it's usually got something to do with sheep. ;)
