You were a little low.	by Avium	2003-02-13 08:50:01
2^128 / 6000000000 (a rough guess of about 6 billion) = 56713727820156410577229101238.628 / person. I don't think I'd like to admin that many computers on my own. ;-) Although the real problem right now with IPv4 is not so much the number of addresses, it's the number of networks. With the way the routing tables work it's difficult (damn near impossible) to use all available addresses in a network. Let's say you have 3 servers at your office. You have to be assigned 8 IP adresses (1 for network, 1 for broadcast, 1 for router, 3 for servers). Leaving 2 numbers open but those number can not be assigned to anyone else because they belong to your network.
