Maybe, who knows, bute ven using it for many more things than just videos, I always recall Tony Hain calculation:
“if you project 32 B (2^35) people over the lifetime of IPv6, and allocate all of them 4 /48's at 50% routing efficiency, you get 2^10 versions of that. If each of them took a year to build out, you are still well over 500 years” Somebody suggested me also to send this link: https://xkcd.com/865/ Regards, Jordi -----Mensaje original----- De: Stewart Bryant <[email protected]> Responder a: <[email protected]> Fecha: jueves, 28 de septiembre de 2017, 16:29 Para: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Asunto: Re: [Int-area] IPv-not-10.

I am also sure that the IEEE though that thought that 2^48 was likely to be an infinity of MAC addresses, but then VMs were invented, and now they are worried. People are proposing to use IP addresses for all sorts of things other than host addresses. For example, video fragments was one idea presented at the last IETF, but once that flood gate is opened, who knows what people will be wanting to address with IPv6 addresses, and how many they will need. So whilst 2^128 seems a pretty safe bet, history is not with us. - Stewart ********************************************** IPv4 is over Are you ready for the new Internet ? http://www.consulintel.es The IPv6 Company This electronic message contains information which may be privileged or confidential.
