UF on IPv6 by DaNutBall2006-11-19 12:55:59
  What, precisely, is IPv6? (n/t) by Llyr2003-02-13 08:14:04
    next version of IP by McNutcase 2003-02-13 08:16:08
designed to solve the problem of there not being enough IP addresses under IP v 4, the current one - which is still a big step up from the original ARPAnet limit of 256 hosts...

      Oh, so it's like "x.x.x.x.x.x"? (n/t) by Llyr2003-02-13 08:18:40
        AFAIK, with IPv6, an IP address is 128 bits. by Stavros2003-02-13 08:22:30
          Oh, okay (n/t) by Llyr2003-02-13 08:26:17
          You sure on that? by taIon2003-02-13 08:44:25
            Nope, it's 128... I just looked it up (n/t) by Llyr2003-02-13 08:48:41
              Same here. Oh well. Another 64 bits of overhead. ( (n/t) by taIon2003-02-13 09:10:35
            It was designed by geeks. by Avium2003-02-13 08:52:36
            Thinking ahead... by tauceti2003-02-13 12:40:30

            ack -- *grammar check on* by DaNutBall2003-02-13 08:48:37
        erm, something more complex I think by McNutcase2003-02-13 08:23:08
          Okey (n/t) by Llyr2003-02-13 08:26:33
          It also adds a few extras by taIon2003-02-13 08:46:38
      So what's the new limit? (n/t) by Khaar2003-02-13 08:32:03
        Current limit is... by Avium2003-02-13 08:40:33
          well heck... by defdood2003-02-13 08:41:47
            You were a little low. by Avium2003-02-13 08:50:01
        2^128 IP addresses... by Stavros2003-02-13 08:41:20
          Oops. No it isn't. by Stavros2003-02-13 08:43:16
