The other fun question is of course what a single 
organization has to do with (2^(48-13)=) 34.359.738.368,
yes indeed, 34 billion /48's which cover 2.251.799.813.685.248 /64's
which is a number that I can't even pronounce. 

Perhaps the DARPA initiative regarding having each mine have
its own network address (so it can communicate and hop around)
is closer than we think.

Perhaps next each round of ammo will have its own IPv6 address.
