>Thats what DNS is for. :) >AAAA
This is so true. Had we not had a good roll out strategy (which included DNS) v6 would have been somewhat of a headache to completely deploy. I also see some folks who have taken a more visual approach to their deployment (which remains to be seen as good, bad, or ugly) such as 2002:1234::192:168:100:1/64. Much easier on the eyes, and if you already remember your v4 scheme, now all you have to remember is your prefix with this notation. Probably not the best of ideas, but it does work and seems to allow for an easier deployment if you're still trying to remember 128 bits :) Max On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 11:07 PM, Matt Hill <[email protected]> wrote: > Thats what DNS is for. :) > > AAAA > > Seriously though, the only IPv4 address I have ever remembered in my > whole life is 4.2.2.2 so having a string 128 bits long vs 32 bits long > makes no difference to me.
