Over the last 15 years, I've heard the phrase "and 640k is enough for everybody" a *lot* of times, but usually not by people that have actually *done* the math. 64 bits for numbering networks is a *lot*. 32 bits (or even just 29) for numbering ISPs is a *lot*. Of course it's not infinite, and it won't last for numbering lots of other galaxies, but this is not the problem we're going to be faced for the next few generations - if compared to the number of people the earth can sustain, and to the number of enterprises of a certain category that are likely to exist in the next 50 years, the IPv6 space is "big enough". If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a beer in 20 years. Gert Doering -- did you enable IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v. Bomhard Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Aufsichtsratsvors.: A.
