>> I suppose this means that the net will function a while longer without a massive switch to 64 bit computers. Hi John, you do not have to have 64 bit computers to deal with 64 bit IP addresses. In the past, we used to have 8 bit computers and IP addresses were still 32 bits. No problem. At least not a real problem. It just gets imperceptibly slower to (in 4 steps of 8 bits) to compose or parse the address. Same thing with 32 bits computers dealing with 64 bit addresses.. regards
