Since much of Asia has moved to IPv6, can we DoS them back to IPv4? (That'll learn them to upgrade technology.)
At least IPv6 will be secure! (Let's forget that IPv6's IPsec is available but not activated or safe from man-in-middle attacks unless point-to-point security is manually configured on a per-system basis.)
Good thing we've moving to IPv6 since we ran out of IPv4 addresses in 2002! (http://ntrg.cs.tcd.ie/undergrad/4ba2.02/ipv6/continue.html) Or was that 2007? (http://www.ripe.net/info/info-services/ipv4/asia.html) Or was that 2016? (http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_8-3/ipv4.html) Whatever... the end is near!
