Hi all.
we are running into major trouble now.
There is believed that ipv4 will run out at the latest, the end of this year!
this means that samp must be made ready for ipv6 or we are all seriously screwed!!

The price of IP ranges will go up as they become near to depletion, so people will use them more with more responsibility.
As of today, nearly no ISPs are supporting ipv6, so it's up to them to start working on this first.
Further more, the depletion of ipv4 won't cause the entire internet to go offline, there just won't be any available IP addresses for new devices.

It just means that prices for IPv4 Addresses are going to skyrocket and iLinx is going to have to learn about the new protocol.
IPv4 however remains rather cheap however, a /20 block is only around $2,000 (~4,000 ip addresses)
At the moment theres around 300,000,000 ip's left which will exhaust by September 11, 2011 (est)

I'm not worried about losing all IPs, I'm worried about my ISP never updating to ipv6!
Besides, my IP is static.
