http://borg.uu3.net/~borg/?ipv6 Now, if only those people who designed IPv6 were smarter.. Hex aint that bad, LONG hex addresses are pain to use. Now, lets say you have LAN like this [::1:0:0/56]. So, ::1:0:24 is easy to remember right? Managable? right?.. Also, bonus for :: shortening is, you immediatly know what are you dealing with, ::1 is loopback, ::1:1 is LL, ::1:0:1 is LAN.. everything else is Internet. The truth is, IPv6 is really 64bit, the other 64bit part is just randomish node address... |

So anyway it gives 128bits in total, 64 for network and 64 for node.
But I wish there was a better way to write just the local node part and global part being taken automatically.
