IPv4 vs IPv6

We ran out of ip space. I still believe that there is a lot of unused IP space, allocated to companies, thats not needed. ipv6 should be released and must be employed. BUT. Unless there are low end /cost routers and firewalls available and a set of tools to manage huge amounts of addresses for white listing  and blocking, ipv6 should never be set in use. Currently all user -not always that friendly- iptables type utilities cannot handle the massive info entries of ipv6. RDBLs should meet the initial load pretty fast and home routes must be designed with a whole new perspective.
Taking freedom of the net, every isp should be able to run a multi-service rdbl like -central fed- for the home router of their users, including the protocol /service to allow or block. That is much more than a google summer code project, and above the opendns implementation. Thats bad ass filtering. Needed for the legit user.
[ unfortunately, internet cannot regulate itself, because the ISPs do not have imagination and know-how. The only thing they do, by law, is keep a copy of your emails, anything using port 25, for a few years 2 or 3 in EU, 3-5 in US, probably forever in china]

I dont believe that is going to be easy. On contrary we'll be back to the 90's where even the idea of an spf record or dnssec (still with loopholes) had not emerged. I see havoc for small companies and a mess on the net.


IPv6 if needed now, needs to be funded heavily as to be ready within the next 6-10 years.

just my 2 cent.-
