64 bits is enough networks that if each network was an almond M&M, you would be able to fill all of the great lakes with M&Ms before you ran out of /64s.Did somebody once say something like that about Class C addresses?The number of /24s in all of IPv4 would only cover 70 yards of a football field (in a single layer of M&Ms). Compared to the filling the three-dimensional full volume of all 5 great lakes, I am hoping you can see the vast difference in the comparison.
Of course--I was asking about the metaphorical message implying "More than we can imagine ever needing".
I remember a day when 18 was the largest number of computers that would ever be needed.
