Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media

It's IPv6. You don't count individual IPs any more. You count subnets (= /64s), and limiting each customer to a single subnet isn't giving it out like candy... it's downright stingy. Go ahead and give them more if they want more. Apologies for not devoting my life to IPv6 research, but regardless of how many /64 subnets each person can have doesn't make it less wasteful.1.6KViews0likes10CommentsRe: IPv6 support on Virgin media

Be a while before that happens?: The big worry will be that ipv6 blocks will be given out like candy (much as the v4 blocks were) and we'll end up with ISP's t hat own billions of blocks each. In fact, google owns 79,000,000,000,000,000,000 ipv6 IP's!.... 2001:4860:(all).... The removal of the standard NAT layer for IPv6 is going to be the biggest headache in my eyes. Well, thanks to OVH giving them out like candy I have something crazy like 221,360,928,884,514,620,000 IPv6 addresses across my 12 servers! I've also seen many many companies giving them out like OVH do too, and it's bad!1.7KViews0likes12Comments
