So, what would drive a mad scramble for available v4 addresses? It would seem that with Windows Vista/7 being preset to deploy IPv6, the question is not whether to deploy v6, but whether to tunnel v6 addresses into legacy v4 routers. I cannot imagine a demand for addresses on those routers sufficient to deplete what is available, particularly if certain organizations give up a few million unused v4 allocations.
