<<It's a little known fact that over 60% of IP addresses are still available to be used by IPv4>> A bit of background. I took a course on IPV6 about three years ago, so my perspective is a bit dated. IPV6(Internet Protocol Version 6) is designed to correct some of the shortcomings of IPV4. The most important(certainly for the emerging wireless world) is the absolute number of IP addresses possible in IPV4. I remember it being a few billion, which sounded fine for individuals at their desktops, but is clearly inadequate for all the possible inanimate devices we foresee. There are a few ways to re-use IP addresses, including allowing duplicates behind firewalled intranets and dynamic addressing(ex. phone modem access), but the future looks to run out if street lights, autos, etc. are online. If I remember correctly, the holdup was something to do with Cisco and Microsoft and the standards they wanted imbedded. A little foggy on that part. FYI, Cooters
