sounds just like folks in 1985, talking about IPv4... The foundation of that, though, was ignorance of address space exhaustion.
no. ipv4 was the second time, not the first
Hi Randy, The first time they had 256 addresses (8 bits) right? That's where the original /8 assignments in IPv4 came from, the folks listed back in RFC 758 who had an IP address before IPv4. 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. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
