   IPv4 addresses are expected to run out within the next couple of years,
and new IPv6 addresses will be allocated. ARIN are offering IPv6 addresses
without charge as an incentive for existing IPv4 users, I can have a real
IPv6 address (not IPv6 over IPv4) from UKFSN now, and I would like to gain
experience before I have to move totally to IPv6.
