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

[Tony Valenti]

I honestly think that if ARIN is wanting to drive IPV6 adoption, what they
really need to do is start targeting the "source" of IP traffic instead of
the "destination".  I don't claim to be an IPV6 expert, but from what I have
gathered, an IPV6 system can initiate a conversation to an IPV4 network but
not vice versa.  If that's the case, then running a dual stack doesn't
matter.  If a customer is on an IPV4 network then they can access my IPV4
gear and if they're on an IPV6 network, then they can still access my IPV6
gear.
If a majority of our customers were on IPV6 networks (and our upstream
providers supported it), I wouldn't think twice before going IPV6.  But,
since our upstream providers aren't going to change, we're really held
hostage in IPV4-mode by their decisions.
