The class E block of IPv4 (240.0.0.0/4) has 268 million addresses available but no existing version of Windows will see/talk to them.

So just sue Microsoft to make a patch available since they obviously aren't going to fix that on their own and you bought IPv4 a few more years.



61 million smartphones sold in Q2. Your solution will last little longer than a year, assuming perfect allocation of that block.


Can we NAT verizon and at&t? lol


They're not, but they do. At least here in France, the main carriers put every single smart-phone under a NAT router. While IP hasn't ran out yet. They don't want their customers to run servers on their smart-phones.


People who do multicast may not be too happy.
