The pool of IPv4 adresses has run out. Some       providers use so called CGNAT for their customets. That means they no longer       have a unique glabally routable IPv4 address. That makes unsollicited incoming       connection IPv4 impossible. IPv6 solves that problem.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 16/0 19/10 37 104/117 105/81 106/201 123/130 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 142/104 153/7715 154/10 110 201/0 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/550 616 664 700 705 230/0 240/1120 5832 250/1 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5555 291/111 292/854 301/1 310/31 320/119 219       SEEN-BY: 320/319 2119 322/757 762 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5019/40 5020/545 1042 5053/58 5075/35       PATH: 280/5555 221/1 320/219 229/426           |
