Re: more on IPv6 address space exhaustion

2000-08-14 19:50:02

I have a brilliant idea.  Instead of letting politicians play with IPv6
assignments, let's give them MAC addresses to play with instead.  Companies
could designate certain pieces of hardware as "naughty" as it comes off the
mfg line, and then be sold in back alleys to smut providers.   Just make
sure that they have XXX somewhere in the MAC addresses.

I can see it now...New York Times: "Man Arrested in FBI sting for using
"child-safe" MAC hardware to run porn website".

Oh, the possibilities...
