If 8 bits is a byte, then 16 bits should be a mouthful.
When does it become a meal and, more importantly, do you want to supper (sic) size?
The supersize option offered by e.g. McDonalds is not much larger than the normal meal size in my experience. So I guess, 8 bits = small, 16 bits = meal, 24 bits = supersize or something, but that doesn't fit well with IPv6 since each segment between colons is only 16 bits. We could call the :: part the 'liposection' though. William
