I wonder when will home routers switch to IP v6.
Never? How many unique IP's can anyone get onto one LAN inside a firewall/router?
My IPv6 subnet has 2^72 addresses. That's about a trillion times the entire IPv4 address space. That subnet is composed of 256 subnets, each with 2^64 addresses. In IPv6, you're supposed to get, at a minimum, a /64 subnet from the ISP.
Gee. Number bigger than I can write, much less remember.
