The "rule" should be "give them so much they will never        MvV>> come back for more". That wey they avoid having to make        MvV>> administrative exceptions for some customers.

More than 16 is unlikely, unless I start doing a lot of funky        TL> VPN stuff. ;)              That reminds me of: "640K ought te be enough for everyone".              That was DOS think. We got rid of that. Now 640M is meagre.              We also have to get rid of IPv4 think. On top of that list are:              1) NAT is not a security feature.       2) There is no shortage of addresses. Address space is no longer a scarce       commodity.              With the mind still in IPv4 think mode, giving out a /56 to everyone while the       vast majority will get no further than using 1 or 2% of that looks like a       terrible waste.              Then consider that "waste" is only an issue if there is shortage. With IPv6       there is no shortage of addreses. Thinking "waste" is IPv4 think. We have to       get rid of that.                     Cheers, Michiel       --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 19/10 30/0 80/1 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 226/30 229/110 317 400 424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 428 550 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 250/1 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/464 1038 301/0 1 101 113 812 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1384       SEEN-BY: 712/848 920/1 2452/250 5019/40 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 280/5555 301/1 229/426           |
