@ SirNuke"With the advent of NAT in 1996, IP address allocation has become even more limited."NAT (Network Address Translation) has _lessened_ the strain on IP address allocation, not the other way around. Because NAT allows a single "live" IP address to act as a gateway for thousands of hosts using private IP addresses, each host that connects to the internet may do so without taking up a live IP. NAT is the sole reason that the proliferation of IPv6 has been as slow as it has...Not trying to bust your chops or anything, just putting it out there.
