“...what will we do with 340 undecillion, 282 decillion, 366 nonillion, 920 octillion, 938 septillion IP addresses?” asked the Beav.
Wally replied, “Well, with over four billion IP nodes listed, and only 6 billion people on the planet, and with all those fancy electronic devices out there, they had to come up with more numbers, so they began to implement IPv6. I think they’ve taken care of that problem for the foreseeable future.”
Beaver asked, “But why now? What’s driving all this?”
“It’s because of the explosion of online gaming and file sharing, and Windows Vista is designing certain applications that will access IPv6 addresses,” said Wally. “Mac OS X is also good to go.”
“Does that mean I can still play Worlds of Warcraft? Or Civilization IV?”
“Yep,” smiled Wally, “all of those and lots more!”
“Gee Wally,” Beaver Cleaver grinned, “you’re not such a bad brother after all!”
