Hi... and thanks to all who have chipped in with info... interesting stuff.

I wonder just how many IPv4 addresses are actually available to the likes of VM and how long they might actually last?

From that question I guess might spring a further question that is, "will there come a tipping point for companies like VM when they have little or no other choice than to actually start implementing IPv6 and how far off is that... months/years?"

Given that we all now seem to have multiple devices in the house all wanting access to our local networks and beyond, it would seem that the need for IPv6 is creping up on us ever faster?

Hopefully more companies like TP-Link will start including as standard, or making available via firmware updates, IPv6 capability in their products.
