> For example, they were talking about the debunked idea of solar panel roadways. If something like that took off in the future, literally every panel would require its own ipv6 address. Hardly a problem. According to [1], there is 64,285,009 km of roadway in the world. So every meter of road in the world could be addressed with merely a 36 bit integer: 64285009*1000 = 64,285,009,000 < 2^36 = 68,719,476,736 Remember that with every additional bit, the address space doubles. Exponential growth is insane. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_road_network_size https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_road_netw...
