Avoid IPv6, Buy an IPv4 Address (nojitter.com)

Somewhat useful information ("how to buy IPv4 addresses if you need them") wrapped in lots of crap. Or rather, conflating two issues that really should be seen separately: The need for IPv4 addresses currently/in the near future, and moving to IPv6 support.

Sure, buying IPv4 addresses if you need them during the transition period is an option (e.g. if you are still expanding a lot and need more than you have right now), but "avoid IPv6, just buy more IPv4 addresses" is a stupid idea.

> The ability to acquire IPv4 addresses doesn't solve the address problem permanently, but it does help postpone the IPv6 migration. The postponement can help with the constantly growing IT budgets and allow other projects to take precedence.

Because you'll have an easier time to fit it in your budget in 5 years...


Agreed, the title of the article alone is enough to make someone want to rage-quit.
