Sorry for the stupid question but each time I got allocated an IPv6 address, I was allocated a /124 subnetwork (16 IPs) and not a single IP. How is IPv6 not going to be in shortage if even a small random actor like me gets allocated many IPs for each server?
- dragonwriter 6y agoThe IPv6 address space has 2^128 addresses. If you assign 2^4 addresses to every actual node, that still supports 2^124 nodes. There's about 2^33 people on the planet, so that still supports about 2^91 nodes nodes per person. A shortage isn't likely.
