Hello Toshi
Furthermore he pointed out that Paul (Wilson: APNIC DG) had commented
IPv6 should be live for at least 50 years time, which has no
inconsistency with your forecast.
Yes I believe that in the past I have said that IPv6 must surely last for
at least 50 years. But that is a very rough approximation!
Personally I cannot understand anyone who would plan for or anticipate IPv6
exhaustion at any time in the foreseeable future. We have a huge problem
already with planning and implementing a transition from IPv4 to IPv6, yet
in relative terms, the IPv4 Internet is a miniscule network, compared to
what the IPv6 Internet will become.
Any sufficiently advanced technology can be regarded as "magic", yet none
of us really believe in magic. I suggest that until future (post-IPv6)
transition scenarios become clear enough as to be practically achievable,
we should plan for ongoing availability of IPv6 address space.
Paul.

If I summarize his view, that would be "Current situation is within the
scope of original IPv6 distribution design because we will have IPv6 for
100-120 years. So what is the problem?".
How do you respond?
I appreciate your comments.
thanks and best regards,
Toshi
