I did a rough calculation and think they would have not run out of IPv6
addresses :-)
I assumed a nanobot was 1 x 10^-6 M^2 and the surface of the earth was 5.1 x
10^11 M^2 (from Wikipedia). This means it would take 5.1 x 10^17 nanobots to
cover the earth. The IPv6 address space is 3.4 x 10^38. Of course, I
assumed only one layer deep.
is that with a /48 or a /64 per bot?
