:_) Another concept that might be useful with *that* much address space is the concept of modeling your ENEMIES' networks inside of unique space (persistently, forever). I'm sure we aren't far from the days where boxen will be set up to emulate the interaction between hundreds of other nodes, latency, jitter and packet loss included. It might be a fun project to be asked to pursue. There really isn't a platform in current address space to do that (once you add persistently and multiple enemies) to the equation. :) Deepak Dorn Hetzel wrote:

Perhaps every round will (or anti-personnel) mine will be stamped with its V6 address so you can track its shrapnel for all time? IPv6 ensures uniqueness, there is no requirement for universal, perpetual connectivity.
