Just as a side note: with IPv6, according to current proposals, every customer gets a /48 - that's not 32 IPv6 addresses, but 2^80. uh, 2^32, as the lower 48 are the mac address (or ersatz-mac for privacy reasons).
well, it would be 2^16 since the 48bit mac (or replacement) are just a part of the 64bit "local" part in EUI64. but these 2^16 are the v6-networks (each containing 2^64 IPs), not the v6-IPs Gert was talking about. :) Gruss, Hauke -- Hauke Johannknecht Berlin / Germany HJ422-RIPE Use PGP ! -> lynx -dump http://www.ash.de/ash.asc | pgp -kaf
