The possibility of remembering addresses.
- tomschlick 9y agoDNS. You're not supposed to remember ip addresses.
- paulddraper 9y agoI remember 8.8.8.8
- tomschlick 9y agoLonger, but still memorable. 2001:4860:4860::8888
- therein 9y agoI remember 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 being someone who grew up in a country with DNS-level censorship way before Google announced their Public DNS.

- nikanj 9y agoWe are the sorry sods working on your VPNs, LANs and the like. There's no DNS for routable blocks yet.
- zurn 9y agoConfiguration systems for those typically do support symbolic prefixes for easy renumbering and deployment of sibling networks. Also, most people dealing with rfc1918 networks would much rather get rid of addressing conflicts and other problems resulting from non-unique addresses, like security problems arising from ambiguous addressing. (Or don't know what they're missing...)
- nazgul17 9y agoIf you're talking about local addresses, can't you just use the short notation and use even-shorter-than-64-bits addresses? If not, DNS is there for that.
