According to research that's supposed to be published later this year, growing demand for Internet use will soon outstrip the stamina of the infrastructure supporting it, and the Internet will cease to be reliable by 2012. Complete anarchy will ensue, and the world will essentially end along with the Internet we created for it. Perhaps this is what the Mayan prophecies meant?

this surely prevents the explosive grows of address space on a backbone, the growth at the edges is hidden by the private addressing scheme, so at least *that* should not be a factor (and, btw, no one is actually converting to ipv6, no business case, the cost of conversion including training is prohibitively high). as to simple increase of the traffic volume - well, I don't think that's really an issue.
so let's keep ipv4. OK?
