So that's like 16,581,375 IPv6 addresses right? How much would all of those cost?

- X-Istence 10y agoYou can get a /64 from many different providers for the cost of renting a single VPS from them...
- sp332 10y agoIPv6 officially keeps the last 64 bits for the "host" part of the address, which means that unless you are abusing the protocol, each subnet gets at least 2^64 addresses. Current "best practice" is for consumer ISPs to give each end-user at least a /48, that is 2^16 = 65,536 possible subnets' worth or 2^80 total address. Your mileage is going to vary depending on your ISP though. Edit: looks like the RFC has been updated to recommend smaller allocations where appropriate. Still keeps /64 as the smallest allowed subnet though. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6177#page-4 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6177#page-4 Edit2: fixed devices -> subnets.
- grahamedgecombe 10y ago> each device gets 2^64 addresses Each subnet gets 2^64 addresses. You can have multiple devices in the same subnet.
- evanreichard 10y agoYou can get several /48 and /64 IPv6 allocations from Hurricane Electics TunnelBroker for free.
