And I disagree anyway, I think we'll find that the concept of getting a single address with IP6 will be laughable. Oh hang on a minute, I guess some ISPs will try it ! In general, I suspect that end users will find themselves with something like a /48, perhaps /24 on a cheapskate ISP, /8 would be REALLY tight-a***ed and that still gives you 253 addresses to go at ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
