[arin-discuss] Food for thought: IPv4 accountability.

[Chris Gotstein]

That is an option, one which we are looking into.  There are still some 
issues with IPv6 on the client side, ie, handing out addresses/subnets, 
client side routers/modems/cpe/etc supporting IPv6, etc.

On top of that, there are almost no major websites running dual stack. 
Do a dig or nslookup and see how few AAA records actually come up.

In fact, from a web hosting stance, cpanel (which is wen hosting control 
panel) doesn't support IPv6 yet!  We host over 100 sites that could all 
be dual stack accessible if cpanel would support IPv6.
