LoL!!!! . . . I gave a presentation the other day to a Tech company regarding IPv6.
This is Internet Protocol version 6 . . . the Internet ran out of IP-address using IPv4 since the beginning.
IPv4 has 32-bit addresses so only allowed up to 4.3-billion or so unique addresses. (devices on at once)
I was explaining how IPv6 uses 128-bits for the address so it allows 3.4x10^38 unique address.
I then told them, for fun, that this was 340 Undecillion addresses !!
We all laughed at the funny name.
What a coincidence that you bring this up today.
My kids are always asking me, a computer engineer, "What comes after billion ??"
"What about after that . . and next ??"
I now have a place to point them to.
Thanks !!!
