UVLUG on IPv6
UVLUG will host Dave Heldenbrand’s presentation on IPv6 this Saturday.
From Answers.com:
“IPv4 supports 4.2 billion addresses, which is inadequate for giving even one address to every living person, much less support the burgeoning market for connective devices. IPv6 addresses this problem by supporting 340 undecillion addresses. For scale, this would allow an average of about 430 quintillion unique addresses per square inch of the Earth’s surface.”
With these kind of numbers numbers, I hope to be able to boast a static IP address for every bacterium in my stomach…
Anyway, it should be pretty cool. I hope to see you there.
