BC> I've been hearing now for 2 years about the 128 bit IP addressing system
and how important it is. Why are we still using 32 bit IP addresses if we need
the 128 bit ones?
BC> And if we do finally go this route, will the 128 bit IP addresses simply
absorb the 32 bit addresses?
Well... as with multicast, not every router allows IPv6 at this time.
What is being done now is to form the so-called 6-Bone (the same idea as
m-Bone) to join IPv6 capable networks while the necesary technology is
deployed to all routers.
