Hot Topic: IPv6
On May 7, 2007, the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) released the Resolution of the Board of Trustees of ARIN on Internet Protocol Numbering Resource Availability in response to reports estimating that IPv4 address space will be exhausted by the year 2010.
There has been lively discussion on various technical mailing lists about the scarcity of IPv4 address space and the operational implications for network service providers. Below are links to sites where you will find information about the move to IPv6 address space and efforts to conserve IPv4 space.
- ARIN's IPv6 Information Center
- Wikipedia's IPv6 Info
- Internet Protocol Version 6 Address Space
- The IPv6 Portal
- IPv6 Forum
- North American IPv6 Task Force

For your information, Los Nettos currently runs native IPv6 in its backbone, peers with both commercial and non-commercial IPv6 networks and can allocate IPv6 addresses.
