IPv4 will run out when we'll either be able to vet peers without using IP addresses, or have found how to effectively run IPv6 DNSBLs. > I can see and share the desire to stop criminals using network resources, > but the argument about "the big problem is waste of scarce resources" > just doesn't fly with me - as it will not make a big difference one > way or the other. Scarceness makes a resource more precious. For example, comparing a /15 allocation to 250K$ implies a US monetary supply of 8G$. Using figures in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply#United_States (8000G$) I'd guess Suresh meant a quarter of a *billion* dollars.
