Re: minimum IPv6 announcement size

IPv4 jumped from 8 bits to 32 bits. Which when you think about it is the same ratio as jumping from 32 bits to 128 bits.

Sorry for the late reply, Bill, but you were snoozing when they taught logarithms in high school weren't you? Jumping from 8 bits to 32 bits (1:16mm) is the same ratio as would be jumping from 32 bits to 48 bits (also, 1:16mm). Going from 32 bits to 128 bits is 1:79228162514264337593543950336 which is not even remotely the same ratio. -r
