The supersize option offered by e.g. McDonalds is not much larger than the normal meal size in my experience. So I guess, 8 bits = small, 16 bits = meal, 24 bits = supersize or something, but that doesn't fit well with IPv6 since each segment between colons is only 16 bits. We could call the :: part the 'liposection' though. William
