Re: IPv6
So if SBC had a /64, they could hand out /96 subnets to the hotspots, meaning they would have 2^32 hotspots they could hand out. Each of those hotspots would only have to have a router that advertised their /96. When you were at that hotspot, your laptop would pick up the /96 root and append its own auto-configured suffix which still gives each hotspot the ability to support 2^32 clients.
This then is the wonder of IPv6, no need for private subnets.
Note that there are roughly 2^64 possible /64 address roots that can be handed out. |
