fair, but isn't IPv6 just going with the same assumption as IPv4, "so many addresses, no way we will ever use them all"

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 8 points 5 months ago (6 children)

For every IPv4 address, IPv6 has 18 quintillion IPv4 Internets.

But, sure, it might be possible for us to fsck up allocations, again.

wouldn't surprise me if we end up in a situation where individual programs have their own IP. then individual variables, so different programs in different networks can access them.

that might actually end up consuming all the addresses ...

stupid suggestion. just saying that future technologies might figure up a way to fuck this up again

There's enough V6 addresses for every atom on the planet and enough spare to do it 100x over. We'll be fine.

going to gave each atom in the solar system its own IP address.
