- jrockway 17y ago255 IPs is a drop in the ocean. Companies with Class As (16,777,214 addresses) are the problem.
- Kadin 17y agoThe legacy Class As really aren't a significant issue either. By the time you subtract out all the effort that the clawback itself would involve (nontrivial reconfiguration of quite a few major corporate and government networks), it would probably be a wash or quite close to it versus just trying to work on IPv6 -- which finally seems to be getting some traction. At best I've heard a few extra months added at current burn rate estimates. Hardly worth the knock-down, drag-out fight that it would involve.
