    I thought it would happen before 10 years, just shows how long it is taking to move to IPV6.

    I beleive it is due to hardware upgrade delays, ISP's like making money no spending it until they have to.

    Thanks for the article, it is interesting and makes sense.

    MVDV> As for switching off IPv4, I fear it will be around for a while....

    I bought and installed a Netgate firewall / router running pfSense, probably the best and most useful piece of hardware I bought in a long time. It is able to do so much, configuring IPV6 should be a nice learning curve when my ISP finally upgrades.

    It has made a big difference in the amount of bad coonections from arouns 1000 to less than 10 a day on my system.
