IPv6 Rollout Japan, China in 2005

Posted by Hemos on from the what's-the-real-roll-out dept.

Killjoy_NL writes "The digitimes have a piece that is reporting that IPv6 will be rolled out in China and Japan in 2005. Makes me wonder when the rest of the world will follow suit" We had a good piece a couple months back about the state of IPv6. CowboyNeal is ready!

    Yea, but is Slashdot?

    Seems the idea site to have support for IPv6. Last time I checked (late last year) Slashdot didn't do IPv6.

    Heck, they still use GIFs...

    256^4 = 2^8^4 = 2^(8*4) = 2^32

    however

    256^6 = 2^8^6 = 2^(8*6) = 2^48 != 2^128

    but

    65536^8 = 2^16^8 = 2^(16*8) = 2^128

    Which explains everyhing...

    Japan and china are ready to roll out ipv6 because there math skills are up to scratch....

    I think we better just forget about ipv6 and focus on the metric system. /plurvert

    My router gets 4 octets per address and that's the way I like it!

    IPv6 has a reasonable degree of backward compatibility, unlike metric...

    I am stunned trying to think of a response... Metric isn't backwards compatible? 1 inch = 2.54 cm... and let's see.. if I multiply.. no.. maybe.. no... you're right, you can't go back!
