Couldn't let this one slide... Bits grow exponentially. Saying IPv6 is 4x IPv4 isn't really accurate unless you're counting bits. A 128-bit address space gives you over 340 undecillion (3.4 * 10^38) unique values compared to the pathetic 6 billion or so of a 32-bit address space. Certainly more than 4 or 5x ;-) -- Ray Soucy Epic Communications Specialist Phone: +1 (207) 561-3526 Networkmaine, a Unit of the University of Maine System http://www.networkmaine.net/
