See there's a lot of stuff out there - currently only in vendor documents / IPv6 forum publicity material .. Toasters, phones, cars etc with v6 stacks. Which might exist. Let's not even count what happens if someone decides to fit v6 somewhere into vint cerf's "internet over outer space" idea [what next, an intergalactic governance federation where tentacled aliens attend RIPE meetings?] The old allocations of class A, class B and class C were realistic too. Fuel growth by handing out IPs for the asking, there's plenty to go around. --srs On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 9:15 PM, Sander Steffann <sander@steffann.nl> wrote:
Let's be realistic and look at the number of ISPs/customers/users instead of the full 128 bits: 536.870.912 ISPs with each enough space for 16.777.216 customers with 256 networks each, or 65.536 customers with 65.536 networks each...
... Yes ... That should be enough for everybody :)
