I'm having trouble wrapping my head around ipv6 style suffixes -- does anyone have a chart handy? How big is a /64, specifically?
Since an IPv6 address is 128 bits, a /64 holds 2 ** (128 - 64) addresses, which is 2 ** 64. But it seems too simple. This was really your question?
Yup. I said it was a stupid question :) Mainly because I've always remembered CIDR's mnemonically rather than mathematically. -Dan -- "Of course she's gonna be upset!
